Fan-favorite lightweight star, Rafael Fiziev is back to winning-ways for the first time in three years, landing a decision win over Chilean contender, Ignacio Bahamondes — to keep himself in the lightweight top-15 tonight in the co-main event of UFC Baku.
Fiziev, who returned earlier this year in a rematch with former interim champion, Justin Gaethje, suffered his second career loss to the Arizona native on short-notice at UFC 313.
With his most recent win coming back in 2022 in a main event knockout over former undisputed gold holder, Rafael dos Anjos, Fiziev had dropped a decision loss to Gaethje afterward, after suffering a knee injury in a main event defeat to Mateusz Gamrot.
