Fiziev had even seen Lee at Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand, where they both used to train. “Yeah, I saw him in. He’s a cool guy. He talked well with everyone in the gym. Nice person, you know. But maybe he’s angry at me because I invited him to fight.”

“I don’t know, but when I invite him and he doesn’t say anything, this is like love. I love him, and sometimes we love someone, some woman and this woman doesn’t love us, and we try to do something. You know how it is? I feel bad because he said nothing.”
