Rafael Fiziev proposes fight with Al Iaquinta, Iaquinta responds

Rafael Fiziev earned himself a ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus with a stunning knockout over Renato Moicano at UFC 256 this past Saturday and he would like to capitalize off of that and stay as busy as possible in 2021.

The best way to do that is to go for another notable name for his first fight in the new year, so he has called for one against former lightweight title challenger and No. 10 ranked contender, Al Iaquinta. Shortly after his fight with Moicano, Fiziev took to social media to propose a fight with Iaquinta and threw in the added bonus of it being on the same card as the soon-to-be rescheduled bantamweight title fight between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling.
