Those body kicks and punches on Gaethje with his high guard, hunched stance and long torso :/
Alvarez figured it out mid fight, Fiziev knows about it from the start.
thank you for your wisdom, jewish king
Shalom Rabbi
yea guru u right it will be a crazy fiziev finish
It’s still crazy Walter jr sacrificed his legs for MMA knowledge
MERAB SMASHED YOUR BOY
Fiziev is the type of fighter that, whenever you see him fight, you think "I need to train harder".
I have Muay Thai tonight and I've been thinking of that three piece that put out Moicano all day. That's why I'm on this video right now. It was so explosive, but deliberate too
@@KM-iv9xy Prediction for Saturday?
@@fl260 Fiziev by TKO
Or for me it's just like "I need to train" ....... "and stop eating cookies"
I'm 5'7, and My main inspiration from UFC was Petr, its now Fiziev. The controlled and calculated explosive violence is just incredible from both guys, but Fiziev is so dynamic it blows My mind
I like how calm he is. Like he's throwing manic bombs at people but he's not even getting excited, he's just fighting the way he fights
That's a real killer right there.
i never seen a fighter in ufc get excited after throwing hard shot
@@sdominik3945it happens all the time. They land, get excited and then go punch drunk. What he’s saying is Fiziev stays composed
@@sdominik3945 you never watched Michael chandler huh
the setup for the RDA knockout is beautiful, feint the knee then the cross on the same side and sit on the lead hand hook as he's coming in
Bro, those body kicks literally did sound like gunshots.
0:44 😳
love hearing bisping react to them like he's in the fight
Against Green or anyone doing a shell or rolling like that, he really could have abused a hard front kick to the gut and i also don't know know why he does not throw uppercuts more often. He is fast and has a lot of stamina so he can get away with throwing R hook L hook R hook L hook etc but he's fast, i cant imagine more uppercuts in the middle would hurt his game
Its funny because the RDA fight he showed MASSIVE improvement as he started throwing andlanding a variety of different strikes like the uppercuts and front kicks to the body
fiziev is the definition of pure muay thai in MMA
The guy is a savage.
That would be Bangkok ready Khalil Rountree
With actual head movement and footwork
Muay Thai “boxers” aren’t known for head movement like boxers.
@@alohatigers1199 muay thai is like 1,5 thousand years older than “boxing” so doesn’t matter how you call it in English
I hope his fight against Gaethje goes full 15 minutes , he's so technical and so creative , lightweight is looking scary af .
lmao gaethje isn't what's called a technical fighter
@@RealAmericanSicko he was referring to rafael sir
@@spxrkthizz lmao I can't read
Lmao sorry but this is 100% not going 15 minutes!
@@RealAmericanSicko Gaethje is definitely technical despite his mediocre striking defence. His punches are really clean and accurate which is pretty much the main reason why he hits so hard.
Interesting how Bobby Green gave him his toughest fight yet.
Green is a very good striker. He’s not super well rounded but he can stand with the best on his good days.
If Green had more power in his hands then he would be a problem. Kind like MJ
@@wasteurtime5677so true, both guys don’t get enough credit for their fast hands
@@user-yp3uq7zb3j because they lose consistently
@@wasteurtime5677 Kinda like MJ? MJ has dynamite in his hands
I think he’s saying that Bobby would be like a prime mj if he had power
That ko vs Brad riddell was so scary. Stood on his feet looking at the ground his brain literally just shut down while his body was still fighting. Crazy
And even putting his hands up to stop while out of it, his body knew to get out of there
This almost feels like a passing of the torch as lightweights most violent striker. Fiziev is a fucking beast
this aged well. yes rafa is good but not on gaethjes level
@@teemar1 He is on Gaethje's level 100%. He wouldn't have gotten to fight him and go 3 rounds to decision with him if he wasn't on his level. That was a close fight. Bad take.
@@thenickfoxx it was a close fight.. until it wasnt.. rafa ended up getting absolutely battered by gaethje at the end. he is warrior but once again not on gaethjes level..
@@teemar1he def is he just lacks the experience to fight him rn but he proved himself it was An amazing fight respect to both competitors
1:24 Damn, that Matrix-level bend is actually nuts. What a dodge. If you pause it at the right time, his torso and legs at at a 90 degree angle haha incredible. Ragnar Lothbrok is wild.
Him vs Gaethje is giving me Gaethje Chandler vibes, but justin gets 5x more CTE
Edit: for the record I have Fiziev KO’ing Gaethje in the 2nd, the comparison to the chandler fight is just that I think it’ll be an absolute war.
Poor Gaethje
And doesn't get gifted a decision he didn't deserve
@@HugoStiglitz88 what? he beat the shit out of chandler after round 1💀 how was that gifted lol
@@HugoStiglitz88 lmao chandler didn't do shit in 3rd round
@@HugoStiglitz88that’s just you bro 😂😂
His upcoming fight with Gaethje is a guaranteed banger! Looking forward to it more than the main event.
It’s either a banger or Gaethje gets slept round 1 tbh. He always gets wobbled round 1 and I dont think he can do that with a guy like fiziev
@@Alvah707 plus he's taking a lot of damage over his career.
@@Alvah707 i think his team is aware of that, so we hope its banger.
@@Alvah707 haha
Fiziev has quickly become one of my new favorite fighters. Reminds me a little of Edson Barbosa, every throw and kick is just thrown with murderous intent and I love it
Exactly. It's amazing he can keep that up for seemingly 5 rds. A lot fighters mix up power purely because of Cardio. But everything Fiziev throws is a hundred percent power with a hundred percent perfect technique.
Beautiful to watch.
Edson had good kicks this man has bombs in hands.
I agree barboza has always been one of my fav fighters for that exact reason I’m still a huge fan idc how many times he’s lost.
Barboza is a power striker. Fiziev is a technical striker. Fiziev wants to land points and always remain in position to defend or throw.
Either Gaethje is gonna have a rough night or Fiziev is there’s no in between 😂
There is an in between, and it's both of them having a "rough night" by damaging the shit out of each other
@@kenmken so like the tony fight but double the affect 😭
@@kenmken nah if Fiziev fights smart, he’s gonna give Justin “Kick in punching range” Gaethje life altering CTE
@@hankm16 more like the chandler fight
@L.E.B LOL both guys driving rascals and wearing helmets by age 40 after this one
Fiziev’s actual reflexes are INSANE
That win for Mustaev really aged nice
Some matrix type shit 🥶
Actual reflexes? As opposed to what? His fake reflexes?
@@dr.loomis4221 oh here we go
@@dr.loomis4221as opposed to his literal reflexes 😆
3:58. You can see that shook his soul, probably went blind for a second. Brutal
That Bobby Green fight was so good for Fiziev. Not because he won, but because he didn't dominate. Bobby tested him big time and it happened at the exact right moment, imo. I never doubt Gaethje's pressure and power- his ability to dog fight guys into submission- but I wouldn't be surprised to see Fiziev dominate him.
I think Fiziev's key to victory is to smash Gaethje's body with kicks, punches and knees and not strictly headhunt. Gaethje tends to wilt when you take the wind of his sails, which is how he's gotten knocked out in the past.
@@madgavin7568 Yeah, agreed. Gaethje has a high guard and a long body. Fiziev has a brutal body kick that I'm guessing will do some major damage.
@@madgavin7568 Fiziev did not understand the mission lol.
They were both different fighters than usual. Fiziev was at like half output/energy. Gaethje actually did what he said he would and fought with intelligent reserve. Good fight. Gaethje really improving.
Fiziev is like a mini Procházka. Absolutely terrifying
Prochazka is overrated. Jamhal, Jan, Ankalaev all 3 smokes him.
@@shafqatishan437he was champ bro
I like those taunting screams he did against King
You know what boggles me more than his technicality, evades or combos. How hard his shins are. Dude throws hard body kicks that when they land you can tell they hurt, but its when they don’t land or get blocked. This man is throwing hard kicks shin to elbow, and continues to throw them.
If you’ve ever made shin to elbow contact even when wearing shin guards, you know how much they hurt. I’ve been shin conditioning for years and til this day sometimes I still get swollen by that. Fiziev shins and mental are something else, just by the sound you can tell he throws those with everything regardless if they get blocked or not.
Edit: Look at the Riddell fight, most of those kicks landed on the elbow, and if you look at his lead foot, its red and swollen. MFer still threw those like it was nothing. Sheesh
I love how he doesn’t just throw one strike, but he’s throwing combinations and very heavy ones at that his strikes sound like gun shots. He’s so aggressive, sharp and fun to watch
Watching the highlights really show the level of competition this man had gone through, like wow
He hasn't really fought anyone relevant. Rda is way past his prime now.
Such a savage of a man, I'm a Gaethje fan but I fear the worst
People dont talk enough about how tough Diakiese is. Damn dude those body kicks
yeah man, even Fiziev was surprised at the end of the fight and after the last bell tapped him on his torso like damn dude this is tough as a mf rock :D
4:07 can we just appreciate Herb for this amazing call. People love to highlight ref mistakes, right here was a great call!!!!
Bro Fisiev gave the ref aaall the time in the world. Yeah it was a good call, but it wasn't a difficult one. LIke let's say the Robbie lawler vs Askren, that's the kinda moment where elite decision is made, and we know he messed up that time. Just to give you one example.
There was a time (when Herb's eyes and reflexes used to work) where he would catch very little split-second details and stop the fight based on something nobody else saw. THAT was the gold standard.
@@langtryvlogme Now he let's fighters fight without mouth pieces. Gold standard!
These two replies just proved how people love to highlight the bad and make it sound like it’s the average case. How many fights has herb ref’d and how many where bad ones? I’d say less than 10%
@@Alvah707 bro considering it's people's lives what is at stake 10% of a lifetime reffing means dozens of fighters who got additional unnecessary CTE. When something so precious is on the line, even 5 percent would already be concerning.
@@langtryvlogme refs are human not robots there will always be controversial moments, no ref hasn’t had them. Big jon is probably the best in my eyes and even he has made several mistakes.
Gaethje walks in : hold my blunt
Fiziev is so cool man, I literally cant wait for this fight
This dude throws everything with insane power. How he can do that and not gas out after 2 rounds is beyond me.
He has been accused of taking PED in Thailand so that is possibly the answer.
Tiger Muay Thai conditioning
well he did in the green fight, which leads people to believe green won that based on how tired he was.
@@YouYubeEnjoyerNum1 green did quite well in that fight tho
@@darekkabaja2 in the 3rd round only, after Fiziev got dead tired. Before he didn't have much success, Fiziev landed consistently and defended well.
You make the best mma highlight videos. Thank you for your service
and Justin beat him like he owed him money, crazy
Fiziev's spinal flexibility is absolutely outrageous, he is leaning parallel to the ground. The strength, balance, and control that requires is insane.
Dude, Fiziev is low key one of my fav fighters. His battle joy is so evident and that's contagious.
All those guys that train at Tiger Muay Thai - Fiziev, volk, Petr... they all have freakin scary striking skills
They condition the fuck out their fighters. Watch their try-out videos.
his fight with bobby green was absolutely awesome, i recommend anyone who hasn’t seen the full fight watch it right after this it was a pure badass striking match that went back and forth
Dude is a beast. Was fun to watch. Great video
Gaethje finally getting his match
Raf has that Poirier meets Pimblett style 🤣
I dont know how I understood that lol
Fiziev fights like how I think I look like when I spar. Then I shadow box and it looks more like Ben Askren.
There are levels to this!
Haha best comment
great, concise videos. keep up the good work!
Ya gotta love it when a fighter starts to finally hit the mainstream. I’ve been watching the same 8 to 10 highlight reels of Fiziev for the last couple years 😂and it seems like a bunch of his content and more reels started coming out in the last couple months (and now days). Hell yeah!!
He definitely took no short cuts to be where he is . I respect that 100%
The joy on his face when he finished Dos Anjos, feels good man.
RDA is a legend and the man is tougher than a two dollar steak, the last time he's been finished is well over a decade ago. Fiziev knocking him out, is quite the statement.
Crazy combos keep coming.
"Yeah I'll take the belt over that kick"😂
After watching this, I feel like Gaethje has more power in his hands than Fiziev, but Fiziev's kicking game is far more advanced than Gaethje's. Idk who wins but it should be extremely entertaining.
Fiziev is also the faster and more elusive fighter. The match-up favors him but only if he fights smart and doesn't headhunt.
The mix up for Fiziev is insane though. Gaethje moves his head less than Bobby green, but like Bobby he can take a lot of hits
@@jormungandr4690 Bobby Green can take a shot but he doesn't have the greatest chin. If you land flush you can knock him out. Gaethje is kind of the opposite in that he's easy to hit, but difficult to knock out. Against guys like that, you destroy their body and then they become vulnerable up top once they're winded.
Gaethje ain’t known for his striking defense. Yeah, he’s tough and can take a shot, but Rafael is just too clean. I can see a TKO within 3 rounds.
Edit: YK it’s a good KO when you hear DC in the back going “WOOOOOOOO”.
1st round ko
Watch Gaethje Vs Chandler back. Yes that fight was a brawl, but there’s a method to Justin’s madness as he can very technical. He‘a very good at slipping punches/ rolling under them and immediately countering. Did this many times to Ferguson. There’s a huge difference in his defense now compared to his earlier UFC days
@@JaegsBan That’s a wild swinging Chandler tho. Rafael isn’t just gonna swing for the fences like he is. I see what you mean tho.
@@geezushasrisen yeah that is true, I was about to say Fiziev doesn’t throw as recklessly lol. Should be a great fight either way
YK?
Holy freakin wow! I have been out of the loop but now I have a fighter to follow.
Fiziev has been my favorite for quite a while, I can’t wait to see him fight the top 5 ranked guys. He’s a proper fighter that puts everything in every shot! So creative and damn technical!! This man will be one of the all-times best! You heard it from me
Very exciting guy to watch!!
I feel like Fiziev is gonna start piecing up Justin slowly but surely. Let's see if we'll see Justin's wrestling or not.
New mythical fighter: NCAA Wrestling Gaethje
That’s funny but I’m sure fiziev had great td defense
His left leg muaithai sweep witha right punch is just pure music.... Feziev❤❤
His kick-punch combos are brutal.
Moicano definitely could've kept fighting. He's durable as shit.
More brain damage for nothing
Agreed that was a very bad stoppage from old man Yves.
The only reason I could see why the ref stopped it was the way Moicano fell. His arms went limp for a second and it’s all in the heat of the moment.
agree, but when i saw his head bounce of the floor i probably also would have jumped in...
@@klefthoofrobert787 moicano couldn't even stand up after the stoppage, watch the complete fight.
Fiziev has got some crazy cardio considering how much power and effort he puts into every punch and kick; all r thrown with intent!
he definitely started controlling his pace after the bobby green fight, in that fight he was literally throwing every shot with max torque
@@QuackSus and screaming when he hit and running after Bobby. He didn't follow any type of gameplan that fight, just stood there and banged.
He’s so technical and explosive 🧨 Literally no wasted movements.
This made the excitement boosted for Fiziev and Gaethje incoming fight on UFC 286!!!
RDA vs Fiziev was one of the most brutal fights I ever watched. Absolute animals.
lol really?
@@dr.loomis4221 Michael Myers is coming on that ass, he’s coming for that ass. Pause.
😂
It was brutal watching dos nachos try to hump his way to a boring win
ITP the 🐐
I didn’t realise just how much of a great match up Fiziev v Gaethje really is. So pumped for tomorrow’s fights.
Even more so than I already was. This one has FOTN written all over it.
Justin and him are gonna be a great show! Can't wait!
I haven't seen anyone mix Muay Thai into MMA as well as Fiziev has.
The belt comment was funny for no reason to me 😅😅
3:23 even Riddel appreciated that
one of the most intense fighters i have ever seen!
Very curious to see how Fiz has upgraded his gas tank. Justin is gonna come at him for a full 15 and Fiz's gas tank in the 3rd has been very suspect in multiple fights. Should be a banger
Not if Justin gets KOed. Very possible. Don't forget when Eddie beat the absolute brakes off him
And did you not see rhe rda fight? Lol he was fresh as hell even in the 5th let alone the 3rd
@Hugo Stiglitz Eddie didn't exactly beat the brakes off of him. Dude went through hell to get that win. Dude cheek looked like he was eating one of those Ed, Edd, and Eddy jawbreakers
@@HugoStiglitz88 eddie and poirier went through war to get their W's SPECIALLY poirier, oliveira got knocked the fuck down like 4 times before the sub, and even khabib said justin is the hardest hitter he ever fought. the guy is not easy to put down. it's gonna be a fucking madhouse of a fight.
Bro, he literally just slowed down and didn't put 100% into every shot in his later fights. His gas tank hasn't upgraded he just manages it better now
Man I love this matchup, can't be anything other than a barn burner this Saturday
Savage this is what i call a fighter.
Not a hype like so many in these days 💪❤
I'm glad Fiziev destroyed Diakiese. I don't know what the commentators see in that guy. He's mid at best.
He did a lot better than most of these other guys fiziev fought
His switch kick is perfection, absolutely beautiful technique
The power is one thing, but the combos are so clean. What an exciting fighter.
He is a beast but I’m always rooting for Justin! Nice work on your videos👍
Damn, It's gonna be a banger.
I think those Body kicks actually break the sound barrier 🚧 & create a physical pain reaction thru the phone.. He puts so much commitment into every shot. It's insane the Heat he brings. I like his fighting style approach.
I'm so mf pumped for Saturday. This dude and gaethje is about to be an absolute classic
dude is dangerous af on the feet. Super aware of his opponents and his positioning at all times. wild to watch
Insane combos
Dude has perfected the Dempsey roll. He’s running so another can fly after him
bro u gotta fukin love fiziez matching bobby greens hands down at 3:14 and then throwing a vicious 3 2
his slip and counter is phenominal
So charismatic. That fight with riddell was incredible
This fight with Gaethje is going to be a bomb show. I can’t wait for this.
My god those switch kicks are insane
a future champ right there
its smart and have awesome response ! Good Luck and we see have fun !
I think that dude just became my favorite new fighter wow
This dude is amazing
great vid. holy shit fiziev is awesome
I remember watching that match between Fiziev and Green. Never seen such odd and fun energy come from both fighters in a match like that lol
As an Azerbaijani guy I know he is the best with his muai thai skills and with his combos, he is absolutely wild and powerful with his punches and the kicks. But he should deal with Gaethje's wrestling as well. Wish him best of luck in the next fight. This gonna be the important one for his career. Uğurlar Fiziev, bütün Azərbaycan səni dəstəkləyir 🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿
I loved that fight vs Bobby Green. It was competitive and they were both having fun with high level striking
1:32 Man those double kicks are fucking brutal, nobody expects them
This dudes work on the body is just next level
Beautiful
His head leaning back is a fookin nasty defence 🤯
Gaethje v Fiziev is one of the best fights I can think of. Can’t wait. Gonna be a banger.
that finish of Riddell was insane, delayed reaction from the body like Shane Burgos vs Edson
Fiziev is just one of if not the best combination fighter in the ufc! Cant comeup with anyone more entertaining to watch!
Wow! This is the first time I've seen this guy fight lol and I believe I've been living under a rock or something! Just wow!
that pause between the two while hands down and staring at each other then start exchanging again. 💀🔥 3:13
This guy hits hard damn
