[Thallium Gamingz]

Even if you think he won or lost this guy proved he’s one of the best LWs in the world and definitely one of the most exciting, the speed of this guy is terrifying

[Saul Hernnadez]

Bro definitely lost

[Shaquile Walker]

He played Justin’s game

[Niki]

And after a loss like that, with his warrior mindset, he's only going to get smarter and more dangerous.

[Moe]

Gaethje won that fight but Fiziev should be doing PPV main cards only! I luv this dude so much man, he's so fun to watch and super super Talented.

[M Hutch]

Yeah speed for just 1 round

[Carlos Esquivel]

For a fighter that just barely turned 30, that fight was definitely a valuable learning experience imo

[Fun TV]

Reminded me of Gamrot vs Dariush,losing the fight due to lack of experience and being little reckless but I am sure he will come back better.

[S'all good man!]

Fiziev is a future contender, champion even.

[cml a l]

User6272 he did but bro he is realistic af dude literally knows he played Justin’s game and what he did wrong, the only way is up for the dude with his mindset based on the interview

[Trxst]

@User-uw6cv yeah your opinion is invalid as soon you said "Justin is the best technically sound kicker in history". Tell me your a casual without actually telling me your a casual.

[GSP]

He lost the fight because Justin was just bigger and had more power

[Mysta Tamiaj]

Him saying he knows when he lost is so damn refreshing The fact is was a close fight makes it impressive. Especially when Ariel opens up with “I thought you won” Most fighters seem to plead for the W in this situation

[Nimetön _]

made me grow so much more respect to him than i already had.

[Nigel Lee "AKA" @MoneyBankLocks]

PERFECTLY SAID, AND COULDN'T AGREE MORE 💯🤝

[djdoomy]

when they have role models like McGregor and other cheaters usually lower level fighters will try to act the same. This is why Khabib was trying to say that they need to clean the sport. MMA is a manly sport and fighter should be acting with manliness and sportmanship, not making excuses and trying to trash talk their career up.

[Ali Nabiyev]

Bro he won 1 and 2

[warrior93]

​@djdoomy yess, bro💪

[Marcus Arceneaux]

I'm a fan now. His mentality is great. I love that he doesn't want to even entertain the prospect that he won cause he's dissatisfied with his performance. That's good. Means he has high standards and will try harder. Also love how he loves his bloody photo.

[Alysse Winston]

Now🙀.. Where ya been Brahhhh!?

[Vital]

Agreed. He has a very bright future.

[vincent digirolomo]

Respect! Was straight up in his assessment and didn’t play the blame game of the judges. Sure the Fight could of went either way but Justin definitely did more more of the damage and deserved the W. The idiots saying he got robbed are some of the biggest morons in the world. I have so much respect for this dude

[Ali Nabiyev]

He won 1 and 2

[Matt Kaiser]

Thank God the fans votes don’t matter.

[MI TWEAKZ]

A true man admitting he fall Short on a very close war ... Kudos to him

[Nader Shah]

It’s really a breath of fresh air that he actually acknowledged his “stupid decisions”. This kinda acknowledgments usually serves as a motivator for the fighter to become better! I reckon Fiziev will come back stronger than ever, and he’s a future contender for sure!

[Jer Michael]

Exactly why I’m a huge fan of him and Gaethje.. He’s one of the very few fighters to not say they thought they won. Even a bigger fan and much more respect after 5 minutes of Raf talking

[Christopher Schwagmeier]

This is the Ultimate RESPECT boost for me! I was a fan and respected him before, but after watching this I just appreciate his mind set and honesty about the way he viewed his own fight! I had Justin Gaejthe winning the fight but man it was an incredible fight! Much love Ariel and Much love to Rafael Fiziev and his team!

[Mikie Magnusson]

Lots of respect to Rafael. That was a great fight. But the damage just added up. I am excited for his future. “You are a great fighter and you always bring it”

[Billy Maltez]

That's the best thing I heard a fighter say. "I'm a professional fighter, I know if I won or lost". The maturity on this guy is unreal. Much respect to Rafael. I'm definitely a bigger fan of his. He will get better and learn from this fight and def will be a champ in the future

[steel]

There’s something *very* different about this guy. I don’t see him losing again for quite sometime now. He’s tasted defeat at the hands of one of the best to ever do it, and learned everything he needed to from it. He’s going to be champ.

[Mateo Hodge]

Idk about all that but people lose its apart of the sport idk why everyone makes such a big deal out of it

[steel]

@Mateo Hodge Idk if you know this but, when competing, the goal is to win. You know… not lose. Could be why people make a big deal out of it. 🥴

[alcott devalte]

There are too many elite grapplers at lightweight. Strikers becoming champions doesn't seem bright at the moment.

[Kinantan Tjiptawirawan]

lets see him vs Gamrot in 5 rounds main event, full camp Gamrot will make Fiziev like a fish out of the water lol

[محمد رستمیان]

@Kinantan Tjiptawirawan not sure about that

[Kruz Lee]

Ariel just saying he thought he won cuz Gaethje is under Ali and is friends with Usman. Love Ariel, but he takes his personal issues too far. Fiziev a W for this and giving respect where it’s due.

[WeOweJesusEverything]

Yup😂

[Nick loves MMA]

When talking about how his face hurts he said "This is very good humble pie" 😂 callback game on point

[S'all good man!]

Man took some hard, clean shots. Respect, and he will be in the mix for some time still.

[ItsameAlex]

time stamp?

[Nick loves MMA]

​@ItsameAlex 3:15

[Sam Gibson]

Best part of the interview I literally laughed out loud and Ariel ignored it because he was so invested in "I thought you won".... Ariel sucks out loud

[Isaiah]

Fiziev looked insanely fast and sharp. He’s definitely the best striker technically speaking at LW. It’s crazy how he wobbled Justin and touched him a lot but he Justin didn’t wear any of the damage. Either way it was a great display. I’m still a little weary of his gas tank since that seems to be the recurring issue in his career so far. Even then I’ll never miss one of his fights from here on out.

[Crazy Pato]

Fiziev's face cuts easier It happens in almost all his fights

[Mad Gavin]

If there's any improvements that need to be added to his game its with the boxing specifically with straight punches and head movement. He needs to utilize more jabs and crosses instead of hooks, if Fiziev can upgrade his boxing skills and implement with his Muay Thai he can become a champion. Gaethje should also learn to utilize straight punches a lot more often as well, he has a piston jab that he never uses as a primary weapon, only as an adjustment when Trevor Wittman calls for it.

[Isaiah]

@Mad Gavin Agreed. I also think if Fiziev would’ve used a consistent front kick it would’ve helped him manage distance and stop Justin from blitzing in with tight hooks and uppercuts. He had the speed advantage but kept trying to engage in the phone booth where Justin was doing more damage. Plus yeah once Justin started using that jab it completely threw Fiziev off his game and led to a dominant third round from Justin. It’s clean like Usman’s is.

[Jaba]

@Crazy Pato Yeah lets just pretend Justin isnt the hardest hitter in light weight.

[Crazy Pato]

@Isaiah I like to counter jabs with low kicks when I'm sparring

[handsomefatboy]

Thank you Ariel for finally clearing up Fiziev’s name annunciation. You can tell Rafa is those young bulls who are still scary, there’s no telling what kind of juggernaut he’s going to be when evolves to his prime, I seriously can’t wait to see whose going to take on Fiziev next if he comes back like a champ. I bet if Fiziev didn’t have a decent amount of fights in the ufc without a crowd (due to Covid) he would’ve shook a couple of more arenas.

[Vernon Hardapple]

mad respect for Fiziev for being honest about losing despite Ariel trying to convince him otherwise. It was close until the second half of round 3

[The Boogeyman]

Gotta appreciate humbleness and honestly in this game

[Tony Furi]

Humility** Honesty**

[Rob C]

Did Ariel make it seem like if it wasnt for the 10-8 he would've won? That isnt the case. He still would've lost a split decision.

[Olivier]

Very rare and unique mindset! This guy is truly a realist and humble.

[yo]

His speed is incredible. I actually thought he won the first 2.

[E Fritch]

One of the best UFC fights ever and both men are crazy tough. Fiziev is a monster and should hold his head high. First time against top 5 competition, he will learn and hopefully come back stronger. He might have lost the fight but gained a ton of fans (me for sure). Cant wait to see whats next for Fiziev

[Solomon Wilson]

a bit of a tough loss cause he was battering Justin for the first and second rounds and even the beginning of the third. He's definitely up there man he's going to be a title challenger any time soon, much respect Fiziev

[Retseadog]

I thought the body shots in the 2nd round outdid Gaethje’s damage but that’s just me. If he sharpens a couple things up, he can be back in title contention very soon.

[Stuts]

Body shots are simply less damaging than jabs, hooks and uppercuts to the head. Even if Fiziev takes the second round by a hair that doesn't justify the damage he took on the third round with no response. Pretty sure Justin also landed a little more overall when you look at the score cards. Justins punches simply had more impact

[Matthew Salesman]

​@Stuts if Fiziev hypothetically wins round 2, then doesn't he win the fight considering he won round 1?

[Mad Gavin]

@Matthew Salesman It does. Justin handily took the 3rd but it wasn't enough to warrant a 10-8 because Rafa rocked Justin bad early in the round.

[Jaba]

It doesnt matter if Fiziev won 2 rounds. It became clear in the 3rd round Justin was the better fighter. Fiziev is lucky the fight wasnt 5 rounds.

[Ro Pryce]

He definitely underestimated Justin’s toughness…

[Sam Gibson]

He learned a valuable lesson about not looking past the old dogs.... and definitely don't kick it....🤣🤣🤣

[Jaba]

Agreed.

[Quasar Leon]

Nobody really lost in this fight . Justin proved a lot of people - me included - wrong . We just forgot what a Beast he was . Rafael proved what we all knew, that he is a Beast as well . The Fans got the best Fight of the Night ... All good .

[Sam Gibson]

I watched the highlight reels for both of them right before the fight and fiz is good but his highlights aren't nearly as impressive when compared to Justin's. Fiz should avoid the 💎 if he doesn't want another hard lesson on old dogs....

[TreeRatFamily4Life]

Great credit to Raf for taking the beating and loss like a man. True warrior. If there was 2 more rounds he would've been finished.

[Russell Peacock]

He said something that I've thought for a while: gaethje wins by baiting people into exchanges that favor athleticism and durability, and outlasts them since he had more, in this way he 'defeats their technique'

[alcott devalte]

This kid did good. It was a fun fight but he couldn't manage to be consistent, not to mention that he had to switch stances because of Gaethje's attacks on his left side of the face. Was surprised that he didn't kick high and instead should have either invited Gaethje to him or pushing the pace higher by not allowing Gaethje to be in the center and work as a counter puncher.

[shanjok]

Fiziev did great against Justin despite the loss. He took Justin's shots very well and barely got rocked, and he was able to rock justin at times which surprised me since I didn't think his power could match justins. Overall a great learning experience where he will definitely bounce back soon

[CASA DEL SOUL /// VIDMIX TV]

Fizzy gonna be scary when he levels up from this loss. Dude is a beast 🙏💪🤩

[Bane Wade]

Extra credit to fisiev for not blaming a shitty decision even after ariels leading question

[BlueberryTacos]

Such nonsense, a journalist like ariel would absolutely never ask this leading question thing you speak of

[The Guvnor]

There is no shame in losing to Gaethje. I think Fiz vs Gamrot next makes sense.

[addy red]

With a wrestler? Not unless he is given a title shot of he is able to win it.

[ItsameAlex]

wrestler to difficult. Tsarukian sometimes strikes so he might be good, but he also wrestles. Jleon.

[Kevan]

one of the best in the lightweight nontheless. He will come back stronger Also just a fact check for Ariel: Even if that judge had given the 10-8 as a 10-9 and given the fight to Fiziev 29-28, the two other judges gave 29-28 to Gaethje without 10-8, so Gaethje would've won split decision with two judges giving to him and one judge giving it to Fiziev.

[Justin]

Anybody that fights any of Ali guys he represents Ariel always thinks they lose and a guy on his show won Anyone ever noticed that

[FeaR]

Because they don’t go on his show

[Sam Gibson]

Ariel should be covering trans figure skating...... The absolute pinnacle of horrible "journalism" He missed the best part of the whole thing "This humble pie is pretty good" 😁

[marccelov]

This is a true warrior, so much respect and also a new fan since this interview. He will be UFC champion sooner or later. Greetings from the basque country

[Rick The ruler]

How did Ariel say he think fiz won the fight against Justin ? 😂

[TahoeHigh]

This guy's answer to did you think you won the fight is the only honest and sincere answer I've ever heard from any fighter ever. Completely changed how I view him, not that I had a negative take. By the way the 10-8 round didn't affect the winner just took the decision from split to majority.

[Horizon]

This man is gonna learn so much from this fight. He will only get better.

[Michael Shannon]

It was his first big fight in front of millions of viewers. This is where you need your corner to give you proper instruction, to see the occasion is playing with his head. Very close fight though.

[Phillip delf moore]

Fiziev definitely won the first 1 an a half rounds an was like a sniper and Gaethje won 1 an a half rounds but the difference was Gaethje landed the more damaging shots. But now hearing Ariel say fiziev won the fight and he's the one who always says damage is the no 1 criteria and if we go by what Ariel normally says Gaethje didn't have a mark on him and fiziev looked battered Gaethje clearly won an Ariel is inconsistent...

[Sam Gibson]

Ignore Ariel and listen to fiz... Way better

[Jesse Fromal]

Different breed over here...Justin is a killer. Not even a mark on his body, flawless victory!

[HerNick07]

Fair play to both fighters. 2 warriors but it was a clear win for Justin. Close fight but clear win. Justin was so calm and patient while doing more damage and receiving less. I don't know how any judge had it a draw.

[Tire Deals]

He lost the fight but won the night for sure it was an amazing fight I will never miss one of his fights again after that show

[Sal Marino]

Gaethje did what the vets used to do to Gaethje when he was the young and hungry monster of the division. Experience and patience shined through. Fiziev should learn from this, he’s probably still the scariest prospect going forward. He looked like a monster even in defeat.

[Michael Carroll]

Rafael Fiziev makes an honest assesment of the fight. It was close but if you just look at the two fighters at the end of the fight it was clear who imposed the most damage and the take down at the end sealed it. I would fear for his health if there had been two more rounds. Look at what Justin did to Tony Ferguson in five rounds. He will be back and his future has some good things coming but these is no doubt who won this fight.

[Savage MMA]

Man literally got served a humble pie 😂

[Mind Sound Meditation]

For what it's worth.. Amazing fight! Fiziev stock only went up.. I'll always watch him fight.

[Simmy Tom]

I actually thought he won rounds 1 & 2. Definitely lost the third round but that puts him up 2-1. Oh well. It's okay brother! You'll come back stronger.

[GSP]

He lost the second round, and youre totally right, the last round was certainly not 10-8, he clearly lost it but Fiziev was winning the early part of the round. A 10-8 is just a total domination of a round which it wasnt.

[Stuts]

@GSP He clipped him like once early in the third then got battered for 3 minutes with no response. When you compare the first and third rounds, it's clear who took the harder and more damaging shots

[Last Chance]

Damage trump's all

[Jose Estrada]

Scored it the same as you. 2- 1 Fiziev but you can't win against a favorite like Gaethje and thats the simple truth; fan favorite brings money. Gaethje is very lucky he got the win honsetly. And I was going for Gaethje but I hate seeing judges steal the fight from someone.

[GSP]

@Stuts I agree Gaethje battered him way worse in the 3rd, I was just saying it wasnt a 10-8 round. It was a 10-9 round and Gaethje won rounds 2 and 3.

[Mark Jervis]

Fiziev should be very proud of his stellar performance, considering his relative inexperience. Gaethje clearly won the fight. However, it was a pretty even contest for most of the fight. It was so tough and so close that Gaethje had to admit he's nearing the end of his career. He just wants one more crack at the title. Thankfully, we have Fiziev to replace him as the "highlight."

[NateDawg920]

It would have been weird for him to get the decision because of how the 3rd round went. Fiziev knows. You can't get a win when you get battered. And Ariel is wrong. The 10-9 would have made it a split decision loss. But Fiziev is so great to listen to. This guy will be in a championship fight in the next two years. And he's right, he had emptied his gas tank a lil too quickly. He was putting Justin on the back foot which I haven't seen done consistently to him since Khabib did it. But Khabib was pressuring with the grappling threat. Fiziev was doing it with striking. But the way Justin wings punches doesn't drain him. Fiziev is more technical, but also he's carrying more muscle. When he started winging punches as well it looked to drain him.

[Sam Gibson]

Literally laughed out loud and became an instant fan.... "This humble pie is pretty good"

[Azar İbrahimli]

Fiziev is future champ 👍🏼 He is really strong

[george iles]

Do not see him a future champ at all but is a great fighter he is to small for 155

[WILLAH]

Gaethje sealed the victory in the 3rd but fiziev is definitely a contender

[Stretch]

He DID NOT win.. However.. He's a great young fighter and will absolutely be back! Justin is NO JOKE.. I actually thought Fiziev might pull it off! Was hard to pick.. Like them both sooo much!

[FuxiMusic]

What a guy! Love Fiziev even more now! And Ariel is such a nice guy too man! 🙏🏽🔥 Fiziev will be back and better, like Justin was against him. I like this new Justin tho, he was just pure violence, now it’s controlled violence, picking his shots, Justin v Dustin is gonna be epic 😎 the UFC should make it a 5 rounder 😁

[Plan B]

Rafael's face looked like mincemeat after that fight, Gaethje looked like he barely broke a sweat

[faisal]

the fact he bled and justin did not is mainly due scar tissue buildup from all his fights back in muay thai. the judges are easily swayed with such a thing in favor of the other. not saying he won but it was so close, dominating round 1 and gasing out towards the end. great performance.

[wrexshunt]

What a great chap. He will bounce back

[Iain Wisdom]

I was all for Justin to win but this lad is pure class in and out the octagon .

[Daniel Correa]

What’s Ariel talking about. If that judge hadn’t done a 10-8 it still would have have been a split decision win for Gaethje

[Cory MMARules]

What an awesome guy and fighter! 👏🏾

[Kid Power]

Man you gotta respect guys like Fiziev and Chandler who fought Gaethje in the way they did, just straight head on. Ironically it was Gaethje who fought more calculated and outpointed them.

[Sid Gilla- Isa Mor Mac]

Gotta respect Raphael he's still young and very talented not that he did but it's never a good idea to underestimate your competition Justin is equally talented but he is also a veteran of the sport great fight either way

[James]

If the one judge that gave Gaethje a 10-8 gave him a 10-9 instead, Gaethje still would have won…

[GSP]

When I saw Justin at the weigh ins, standing next Fiziev, I saw Justin was quite a bit bigger, and that was the reason he won, he was bigger, had more power in his hands than Fiziev and did way more damage.

[Brad Bradford]

Props to Fiziev for accepting defeat and believing he can do better in the future. Antiprops to the fools who still say he won

[The Metal]

After the fight he looked defeated and battered, seemed that the decision didn't annoy him back then

[Erik]

Gotta gives these types of fighters their flowers DURING their career. Non stop action compared to some of these fighters who grab, hold and don’t hunt for finishes. Big Respect Rafa!

[Bronco119]

Justin took that fight in the 3rd round. That was a well earned victory for Gaethje. Respect Raphael for a great fight. That picture is beautiful. War paint.

[a9s2w5]

This is what all who fight Justin speak on, that when you're in there he has an abiity to make you fight his fight. And he's much more tricky than it looks. It was a good fight. If Justin had ever been able to be more measured...I wonder what he could have done. What he has done is amazing. But he still was winging so many strikes, completely unnesscarily. All he has to do is just set those strikes up and take 10-20% off the power. It's how he's gotten taken down and in nearly every bad position. But this is about Rafael, I think this was a big step up in attention and just a fight in general. Rafael has a lot he can and no doubt will do. He's very good and very quick....I can see him beating any of the top guys on the right night. But if he continues to evolve and can fix some of those issues he has, he could become champion. I just need to see how he does against a heavy heavy grappler at the highest level.

[Travis Eskridge]

Not sure why Ariel keep pushing him to say he won. I really don't see where he won. He definitely won one round, but not the fight

[Courtland Griffith]

Ariel asks questions like he’s in a therapy session. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[Sam Gibson]

Yeah, his own...lol

[Dean Barton]

Gotta love how Fiziev basically dismisses any 10 8 rules and accepts Gaethje won the scrap.

[Profile One]

It wasn’t “bad decisions” dude just got beat by the better fighter. Gotta work your way back up by gaining experience that’s all it is

[Amit Singh Manhas]

Ariel trying hard to create controversy over the decision “but props to fiziev, he knows”

[the5starwrestler]

I thought it was pretty clear that Gaethje won rounds 2 and 3. Ariel needs to rewatch the fight

[Daniel Gendy]

def not a clear round 2

[Jaba]

It doesnt matter if Fiziev won 2 rounds. It became clear in the 3rd round Justin was the better fighter. Fiziev is lucky the fight wasnt 5 rounds.

[Johan Boshoff]

So much respect to Fiziev for not arguing the dicision.

[Ömer Selim Uçar]

Future champ Fiziev 🇦🇿🇹🇷

[william ryan]

He underestimated Justin's hands and power. The way to beating Justin is submission and staying away from those power shots. Khabib and Charles Olivera made the blue print.

[Owen S]

I thought he won the first 2 rounds. No way the 3rd was a 10-8

[veer laff]

Glad you thought the same. Damage was from strikes to eyes and pokes,while Fiziev was landing hard shots to Jaw.

[Owen S]

@veer laff Yeah you can’t score a fight based on damage to a guys face. Some guys just open up or bruise easy like GSP

[Olivier]

Justin gave Fiziev a portrait painting for his house. How nice of him!

[Mikey Mouse]

Ariel arguing that a 10-9 round would make Rafael the winner lol no it wouldn’t have. Cmon man, you should know this! Gaethje won 29-28 on the 2 judges scorecards that gave him a 10-9 for the 3rd, and a 29-28 victory. The unwarranted 10-8 scorecard was from the judge who scored it a draw at 28-28. Instead of a majority decision win, it would’ve been a split decision 29-28, 29-28, and 28-29 to Gaethje.

[Abel0187]

Such a refreshing guy. I’m now a fan. ✊

[Fish oceanpool]

I rewatched the fight I definitely think Fiziev won. When watching it live I thought Justin won but surely I was wrong . But unfortunately judges had to make the decision instantly

[Kalt Kalt]

Gaethje won but Fiziev's stock definitely went up, the dude is gonna be in the top 3 within a year. Could be a future champ but 155 is so competitive it’s impossible to say. Anyone in the top 10 can beat anyone else in the top ten on any given night.

[Grievous]

Charles, Dustin, and Gaethje are just a huge step up from the division

[ajay7797]

Lmao Ariel absolutely refuses to do a single interview without trying to bait his guest into ridiculing the ufc

[BmoreDrew]

He fought well its just Justin hits so hard the damage was too much

[Mighthookya]

It was a good close fight but Justin clearly won for me cause of the damage he done, Justin didn’t have a scratch on his face

[Pink Ribbon Skies]

He just wasn't the better man that night. He definitely did not win that fight. Great fighter though. He will be back

[subzero midnight]

When yall see the fight again you will realize that fiziev barely hit gaethje on the face. Body shots landed though. However gaethje headhunted and broke him down

[Sam]

He won first round. Gaethje won last round. Gonna go and watch the second round again because it was close.

[NorCal Racing]

That damage on his face definitely says “I won” lol

[D Cee]

He’s a beast but didn’t seem to have the power to hurt top 5 guys in the division. I’d say move down to 145 and he’d be a champion quickly

[Jeremie Mcphail]

Justin called it.. He said Rafael’s emotions would work to his benefit

[Muthuraja Ramachandar]

Rafa will learn from this. This is just the beginning he'll be back

[YounNGsiMBa 124]

I feel bad for the guy he seems nice enough

[Randy Mullins]

I've bragged on Raphael since observing his 1st UFC fight and thought he'd starch Justin! I'm also a huge Justin G. fan and certainly felt that last round, considering the obvious physical damage, Justin slightly pulled through

[Michael Herron]

Man, that body language says it all, devastated.
