Lightweight striking ace, Rafael Fiziev is set to for his second Octagon walk of this year later this summer — booking a co-main event return at UFC Baku, taking on Chilean knockout artist, Ignacio Bahamondes in a high-stakes clash on June 21. in the promotion’s premiere outing in Azerbaijan.
Fiziev, the current number eleven ranked divisional contender, featured on short-notice at UFC 313 back in March, taking on former interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje in the pair’s rematch clash in a co-main event showdown.
And dropping another close decision loss against the Arizona native, Rafael Fiziev is without a win since a 2022 knockout win over former undisputed lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos via fifth round stoppage in the pair’s main event clash at the Apex facility.
