@RafaelFiziev is always a treat to watch, the man can scramble so I expect this to stay on the feet majority of this fight. Should be fun #UFCVegas58

Both guys shaking out their power hands at the start of the round. I’m sure they both feel those body kicks they blocked #UFCVegas58

Marks usually one of the better refs but that stoppage was way too quick. Tough break. Wish we got to see if RDA could recover. Rough ending to a great fight. #UFCVegas58

I’m now even more excited to watch Fiziev work his way through the division, him vs Dariush or Chandler is interesting. Style wise I think he’s a problem for Gaethje.
