BAKU — Azerbaijani UFC lightweight contender Rafael Fiziev has publicly called for a fight with former champion Charles Oliveira, signaling his desire for a high-stakes matchup later this year.
Responding to a post by popular MMA news account MMA Orbit on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which reported Oliveira’s plans to return to the octagon in November or December, Fiziev reposted the update accompanied by a series of suggestive emojis — a clear sign that he wants to be the one welcoming the Brazilian back to the cage.
Fiziev, known for his striking skills and explosive style, currently holds a professional MMA record of 13 wins and 4 losses. Oliveira, a fan favorite and submission specialist, boasts a record of 35 wins and 11 losses in 46 fights, making him one of the most experienced fighters in the lightweight division.
A potential clash between the two would be a headline-worthy showdown, pitting Fiziev’s Muay Thai precision against Oliveira’s deadly ground game. Fans and analysts alike are already buzzing about the possibility.
