Faced with this October 15 confrontation against Rafael Fiziev, but also reflecting on the defeat by KO during the International Fight Week, Lima Declaró (Vía Sherdog):
“Charles managed to take Topuria to the cage and then to the ground. In the first exchange, he connected a strong codazo. He could have achieved the knockout at that moment, but Topuria absorbed it.

► Charles Oliveira is still dangerous, according to her opponent at UFC Río.
Charles Oliveira is a lightweight somber of the UFC and He has a great history in sport, something Rafael Fiziev knows very well. When talking about his vision of Oliveira in the face of this autumn fight, during an interview with Home of Fight, Fiziev joked (via MMA Junkie):
«I think it's okay, It has a lot of experience. World medicine is at a very high level right now. He put drops, serum, surely recovered and is preparing … It is still a dangerous fight. It is still dangerous. This knockout does not change anything for my fight against him ».
I am not a boxer. I'm kickboxer. My blows are also strongbut if I play it well, I will surely knock it out. Many people say that after a knockout, you are no longer the same, that your chin is not the same. Everyone says it, but I don't know if it's true. Many people who start losing by knockout simply age. I don't know if it's true. We will check it.
