C&rsquo;est cette \u00e9cole, brutale et pr\u00e9cise, qui fait de lui aujourd&rsquo;hui l&rsquo;un des frappeurs les plus propres de la cat\u00e9gorie des poids l\u00e9gers UFC.<\/p>\n<h3>Du Kirghizistan \u00e0 Tiger Muay Thai<\/h3>\n<p>N\u00e9 le 5 mars 1993 \u00e0 Korday (Kazakhstan), Fiziev grandit au Kirghizistan, o\u00f9 il d\u00e9croche plusieurs titres nationaux de Muay Thai et une m\u00e9daille de bronze aux Championnats du monde IFMA 2016. D&rsquo;origine az\u00e9rie, il combat d\u00e9sormais sous nationalit\u00e9 azerba\u00efdjanaise depuis 2021. Son point d&rsquo;ancrage : la Tha\u00eflande, et plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment la Tiger Muay Thai de Phuket, o\u00f9 il s&rsquo;entra\u00eene depuis 2017. Le surnom \u00ab\u00a0Ataman\u00a0\u00bb d\u00e9signe, dans sa r\u00e9gion, le chef, le plus fort de la bande.<\/p>\n<h3>Un striking de chirurgien<\/h3>\n<p>Le style Fiziev tient en un mot : timing. Jeu de jambes constant, switch-kicks, contres au millim\u00e8tre et une main gauche qui part comme un fouet. La majorit\u00e9 de ses finitions arrivent debout. Surtout, sa d\u00e9fense de lutte tient la route, ce qui lui permet de ramener presque tous ses combats sur le terrain qu&rsquo;il pr\u00e9f\u00e8re : l&rsquo;\u00e9change pieds-poings.<\/p>\n<h3>Les combats qui l&rsquo;ont fait conna\u00eetre<\/h3>\n<p>Le 9 juillet 2022, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Vegas 58, il \u00e9tale l&rsquo;ancien champion Rafael dos Anjos d&rsquo;un crochet gauche au 5e round, au bout d&rsquo;un combat serr\u00e9. Huit mois plus tard, le 18 mars 2023 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 286, il livre une guerre l\u00e9gendaire contre Justin Gaethje : trois rounds d&rsquo;\u00e9changes fous, perdus de justesse aux points par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e. Deux performances qui l&rsquo;installent durablement dans le top 10.<\/p>\n<h3>La blessure, puis le retour<\/h3>\n<p>Le 23 septembre 2023, face \u00e0 Mateusz Gamrot, son genou gauche le l\u00e2che au 2e round : rupture du ligament crois\u00e9 ant\u00e9rieur, d\u00e9faite par TKO et longue convalescence. Fiziev signe son retour gagnant le 21 juin 2025 \u00e0 Bakou, par d\u00e9cision unanime contre Ignacio Bahamondes. La suite est plus rude : le 1er f\u00e9vrier 2026, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 325, il encaisse un TKO au 2e round face \u00e0 Maur\u00edcio Ruffy. Son bilan en MMA s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit \u00e0 13 victoires pour 5 d\u00e9faites, et il reste l&rsquo;un des techniciens debout les plus appr\u00e9ci\u00e9s de la division.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rafael_Fiziev\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/rafael-fiziev\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rafael \u00ab\u00a0Ataman\u00a0\u00bb Fiziev, poids l\u00e9ger de la Tiger Muay Thai : un striker d&rsquo;\u00e9lite issu du Muay Thai, le KO de Rafael dos Anjos, la guerre face \u00e0 Gaethje et son retour de blessure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102564,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69973],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104869","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-lightweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
