Media Fiziev goes in on Gaethje for refusing to fight him

I like Fiziev and I get he wants to fight Gaethje, but if Gaethje doesn’t want the fight, move and look for a fight with someone that will accept. We don’t want him to end up with an obsession like Ferguson with Khabib.

I think it's a fight Gaethje should actually take. Fiviez has a nice run and coming of that nice win over a established name like RDA.

And I think Gaethje KO's him in the later rounds after a back and forth fight.
 
I like fiziev's hustle, but surely he's gotta move on eventually, right?

Literally the only other ranked guy available besides Tony and Dan, who no one should be calling out to up their standings, is Jalin Turner. Even counting Ferg and Hooker, it doesn't make sense to make call outs backward, even if that's eventually what you gotta take when the contract is handed.

The only reason he wants Gaethje so bad is because he's the only top LW who won't go for takedowns against Fiziev (at least not consistently as a strategy)

I like Fiziev but at this point he seems straight up desperate for the Gaethje fight and its obvious to see why.

Justin is the only fighter who isn't booked and ranked higher than Fiziev

Why would Fiziev chase a fight against someone ranked below him while he is on a 6 fight winning streak coming of a main event knock out win.

Edit: Fiziev is also on a 5 bonuses streak.

There is no other sensible option left for Fiziev, everyone else in the top 10 is booked. Gaethje and him are the only guys without a dance partner, it makes all the sense in the world to make that fight, both the fans and the promotion need to pressure Gaethje to stop acting like a bitch and accept it.
 
Pretty sure Justin recently had surgery.

It's not like he's fought anyone since his titleshot.

I can see hunter being a real instigator here.

"heal up Justin, hope the surgery goes well.."

"don't know what to tell you Rafael, he won't fight you.."

Fiziev is fixated on Gaethje because he doesn’t want to fight any elite grapplers in the LW top 10, it’s kind of sad when you think about it, it’s like he doesn’t believe in himself unless his next fight is vs Gaethje.

He’s literally terrified of:
Arman
Gamrot
Dariush
Oliveira
Makchachev

maybe not Dariush but I really get the feeling he’s scared of elite grapplers.
he knows these guys beat him imo.
 
At this point Fiziev should just fight Turner in December. Gaethje says he doesn't want to fight until March or April in England so Fiziev can get that fight after.

That would be a good fight. Much better than chasing a man that's not interested in you.
 
Fiziev is a little overrated IMO, but it’s not surprising that an American fighter is terrified of him. The UFC does a great job protecting its popular American fighters and rightfully so.

Their American fighters with known names only fight for titles(and virtually always lose) or other Americans. It’s a good business model, though, they would be stupid to feed these guys to the International monsters coming up.
