UFC lightweight fighter Rafael Fiziev is currently aiming at his next big shot fight inside the Octagon. The Kazakh fighter is on the hunt for a big tag fighter, and it looks like he has zeroed down on Justin Gaethje. It is apparent from his social media posts that the ‘Ataman’ has set his eyes on the former title challenger.

Rafael Fiziev is on a six-win streak and last defeated the former UFC champion Rafael dos Anjos in a fifth-round knockout. It was all but logical to make his next big step in UFC and inch towards the title.

As expected, the MMA fans had a good laugh at the post and some were left in a state of shock. While the fans are having fun at the video, Justin Gaethje might be in a state of fury and embarrassment at the same time.

Rafael Fiziev made his UFC debut in 2019 in an unfortunate loss against Magomed Mustafaev. Since then ‘Ataman’ hasn’t looked back and currently holds an impressive professional record of 12-1.

How did the fans react?

One user referred to the tendency of prominent UFC fighters who cling to their rank and don’t agree to fight a lower-ranked or no-ranked fighter. Thus, he commented, “Fiziev sick and tired of rank-huggers.

Another user was impressed by Fiziev’s creative mind and declared, “I know it’s not possible, but this should be the worlds first 11-7.

Similarly, another user took a leaf out of Bruce Buffer’s announcement book. Therefore, he commented, “Winner, by UNANIMOUS DECISION….”

An MMA fan compared Ataman’s funny video to another UFC fighter who is known for funny reactions. He commented, “This is Costa levels of funny. Fiziev is the man in and out of the cage.”

As another MMA fan came to realize that Fiziev has been calling out Gaethje for a long time now. Hence, he commented, “I didn’t realize that Gaethje has been ducking Fiziev since the summer. Damn”
