After suffering a loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC 313, Rafael Fiziev is contemplating a move to the featherweight division. He experienced an easy weight cut for the fight, prompting him to consider the transition. Despite his long history competing at lightweight, Fiziev indicated that shedding weight has been easier, which could benefit him in a division where he believes he could be competitive. He emphasized that he would pose challenges for opponents in featherweight, indicating his readiness for a new chapter in his career despite recent setbacks.
I'm start to thinking right now about change weight divisions... All this week, my nutritionist, Jason, he tried to gain my weight because my weight go low so fast.
Yes, it's possible... Like I said, I'm not big at this division. My body, I lose weight so, so easily... These guys [at featherweight] have trouble if I come in there.
