Rafael Fiziev appears primed to take on the lightweight division's elite after scoring a fifth-round TKO win at UFCVegas58
LAS VEGAS – After competing in his first UFC main event, lightweight contender Rafael Fiziev appears primed to take on the division's elite after scoring a fifth-round TKO win over former champion Rafael dos Anjos.
The two were active on the feet to start the contest, with each showing plenty of movement and firing off powerful punches, including an early dos Anjos left that drew some blood near Fiziev's right eye. Dos Anjos shot forward for a takedown shortly after, but Fiziev defended well against the cage and was eventually able to slip back to the center, where he delivered a few acrobatic knees as the two continued to engage in striking exchanges.
With blood trickling out of his right forearm from a cut sustained in the second round, dos Anjos went quick to the takedown to start the third, though Fiziev was again up to the task and stayed upright before scampering back to the center. There, dos Anjos traded just briefly before again rushing forward for a takedown that he couldn't convert. Dos Anjos would continue to hunt the clinch, but Fiziev dealt well with each attempt.
