    I respect Fiziev and his journey. His brutal ko of Brad Riddell was beautiful to watch but now he's up against one of my favourite fighters in the sport. All the best to Fiziev but I think Justin 'The Highlight' Gaethje will beat him. Justin is a veteran, has faced the best of the lightweight division & is a bigger lightweight. Fiziev looks like a featherweight imo.
