So 2015 this dude 22 years old from some place called Krashka moves to Thailand. Why To become a pro fighter. Not like those guys who go for a “spiritual retreat” and come back doing half-assed yoga poses. Nah Fiziev went to the real halls the sweaty ones. Started in Muay Thai just tearing through people. Like a rickshaw pulling through Delhi traffic – unstopable. He’d just fold guys pack ’em up. He had this punch man an armor-piercing blow. One shot and the fight’s over in the first round. My cousin he thinks he’s got a heavy hand after hitting the punching bag twice. This guy he’s got actual heavy hands.
Remember that viral evasion The one where he moves his head like a snake charmer’s cobra just completely dodging a kick Man I showed that to my old gym trainer he just shook his head. “This boy he knows some dark magic!” Dana White saw it everyone saw it. So while he’s cracking heads in Muay Thai he signs with an Asian MMA promotion. Three fights three finishs. Six early wins and then BOOM! UFC contract. The big leagues!
First UFC fight St. Petersburg fancy stuff. Magomed Mustafaev Dagestani guy you know those guys are built diffrent. Everyone thought it’d be a stand-up war firework like Diwali. But nah 1.5 minutes. Mustafaev throws a roundhouse kick Fiziev blocks it but the kick was so heavy it crushed the block. Knockdown. Fiziev lose. My heart sank man like losing a cricket match in the last over. Everyone started talking smack “He’s overrated!” “Just hype!” He had to prove he belongs.
Six months later Singapore. Alex White. This dude was almost fired needed that win bad. But Fiziev he just takes the center invests in each punch. White tries to counter but Fiziev he’s just pressing. Like an annoying relative asking about your marriage plans just *always* there. Second round heavy hits. White tries to grapple but Fiziev is just smashing the body. Third round kicks. He won man a crucial win. And then… a bonus! Fifty thousand dollar! That’s like a year’s rent for a bachelor pad in Mumbai!
Then Fight Island Abu Dhabi. Mark Madsen. Guy with a heavy hand. Fiziev just presses again. His leg kicks man like baseball bats! Madsen throws a counter Fiziev does his famous evasion again. He just adds *terror*. Faster tougher more creative. Like watching Rajinikanth dodge bullets but it’s actualy real! Another clear victory. Another bonus for “Fight of the Night”! This guy he’s a bonus magnet!
December 2020. Numbered event. Renato Moicano former featherweight champ moved up. Fiziev just studied him. Like preparing for a Board exam knew everything. Moicano tries to stand and bang Fatal mistake. Fiziev hits the body hands drop then BAM! Head. A perfect combination. That was a finish man! Another bonus “Knockout of the Night.” His highlight reel is longer than my grandmother’s stories!
Then Bobby Green. This guy’s a veteran a tough nut. Fiziev constantly moving looking for openings. Green solid defense. But Fiziev just increased speed. Provokes him. Second round trading shots. Fiziev just drives Green to the cage explodes. They trade blows like gossip in a small town. Fiziev tired but he just keeps attacking. Unanimous decision win. Another “Fight of the Night” bonus. This guy is printing money and putting on show!
And Brad Riddell his old training partner. You know like fighting your best friend in a gully cricket match but this is UFC! Riddell good striker. Fiziev just takes the center. Chess game but Fiziev’s playing 5D chess while Riddell’s playing Ludo. Fiziev picks up the pace spots the New Zealander’s teeth finds the target. Third round he finally opened up. Presses Riddell to the net surprises everyone. Kick to the body then a standing KO! Riddell’s first defeat ever! Another bonus! This guy is a certified bonus machine!
Now he’s 29 top-10. And guess who’s next Rafael dos Anjos! RDA! Former champ an old lion. If Fiziev beats him Oh boy. Title shot! He’s the dark horse in this division. The one who will make everyone sit up and notice. Before the electricty goes again. I need more chai. This is MMA bhai!
