Two of the best strikers in the lightweight division are expected to share the Octagon in December.
Farah Hannoun and Nolan King of MMA Junkie have reported that Rafael Fiziev and Brad Riddell have verbally agreed to fight at an upcoming Fight Night event scheduled for Dec. 4 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Although an official announcement from the UFC brass has yet to be made, Fiziev alluded to receiving the fight contract on social media, so that could change very soon.
Fiziev was not successful in his promotional debut against Magomed Mustafaev over two years ago, but has rebounded with four consecutive wins since then.
