Rafael dos Anjos vs. Rafael Fiziev Breakdown
Rafael Fiziev (11-1)
Looking to leap into title contention, tomorrow night is Kazakhstan's own Rafael Fiziev. "Ataman" has been on a tear since losing his UFC debut back in April 2019. Since the loss, Fiziev has rattled off five straight wins, holding victories over Alex White, Mark Diakese, Renato Moicano, Bobby Green and most recently defeating Brad Riddell with a highlight spinning wheel kick knockout this past December.
If Fiziev were to secure the biggest win of his career, he may look to keep this one standing as "Ataman" boasts an impressive 5.35 to 3.62 significant strikes landed per minute advantage over his Brazilian counterpart.
Rafael dos Anjos (31-13)
The final competitor to make the walk to the octagon tomorrow night will be former UFC Lightweight Champion, Rafael dos Anjos. "RDA" is seeing a bit of a career resurgence as of late, winning back-to-back bouts against Paul Felder and most recently, Renato Moicano at UFC 272. Before his latest pair of victories, dos Anjos saw a roller coaster run, holding a modest 7-6 record following securing the title at UFC 185.
If dos Anjos were to extend his winning streak, tomorrow night, he could be keen to take this one to the mat as the Brazilian holds a 1.99 to 0.48 takedowns per 15-minutes advantage over Fiziev.
