Rafael Fiziev is the best Rafael in the UFC after finishing Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC Vegas 58 this past Saturday.
Dos Anjos tried to get Fiziev to the ground, but ‘Ataman’ denied him nearly every time. The former UFC lightweight champion stood and traded with the No. 10 ranked contender, who was finding a home for his punches and kicks (and some flying knees, too!) throughout three rounds. There was concern for Dos Anjos, who was likely down 0-3 on the judges’ scorecards. He did better in the fourth round, securing a takedown on a labored Fiziev.
