Azerbaijani MMA fighter Rafael Fiziev has begun active preparations for his upcoming fight against Brazilian opponent Mauricio Ruffy, scheduled for February 1, 2026, at UFC 325.
As reported by İdman.Biz, a video showing Fiziev’s intense training sessions has appeared on social media. The preparation is taking place at a high tempo, and the upcoming bout has already generated significant interest among fans.
It is worth noting that Fiziev was originally set to step into the octagon on October 11, 2025, at a UFC event in Rio de Janeiro against another Brazilian fighter, Charles Oliveira. However, that fight was cancelled due to a knee injury suffered by the Azerbaijani athlete.
