The UFC president strongly responded to the complaints from the native of Kazakhstan.

The head of UFC, Dana White, responded to a question regarding the extended absence of Kazakhstan native Rafael Fiziev, as reported by Sports.kz with reference to Sport24.ru.

Fiziev sustained a knee injury during his fight against Mateusz Gamrot in September 2023. A year later, Fiziev expressed his desire to fight by the end of 2024, yet he still does not have an opponent lined up.

— Rafael Fiziev, one of the top strikers in the lightweight division, claims he wanted to fight last year, but he still has no opponent. When will he return to the octagon?
— So, Fiziev is saying he’s been ready to fight for several months, and we’re not giving him a match? To me, that sounds like complete nonsense. Apparently, the situation is much more complicated than that, — said White at the press conference following the tournament in Saudi Arabia.
