Rafael Fiziev talks about his loss to Justin Gaethje and claims eye poke was a determining factor in the fight
Rafael Fiziev is still not over his loss to Justin Gaethje. The pair fought at UFC 286 and went the distance, going to war for all three rounds. Gaethje won the fight via majority decision, but it's clear that Fiziev does not agree with the reaction. The Azerbaijan native had a lot to say about his loss. In an interview with The AllStar, he spoke about how an eye poke turned the tide of the fight. He said:
"He ran away from me 2 rounds. He started to win only after eye poke because my eye doesn't see anything. There was a big white circle on my right eye all fight...I didn't see anything with my right eye. So his fight went good only after eye poke and round three when I started to get tired. But he ran away two rounds you know."

Fiziev believes he is the only fighter to push Gaethje to his limits, and made him "run" for two rounds.
