Rafael Fiziev seems to be in a pretty relaxed mood as he prepares to go to war with Justin Gaethje at UFC 313 this weekend.

“For me, its just another day in the office”

Fiziev is relaxed heading into Gaethje fight

“Doesn’t matter if I already fight him or not. For me, the fight with a guy like Justin, because like all people around me know him. Before UFC, I also liked him a lot. For me, fight with him, this is already some miracle. Second time, how it’s going, it’s very special to me, UFC 313, this number for me is very special. That’s why for me, it’s like a miracle this happens.”

“I train all my life and I fight since 11-12 years old. Before in amateur career, I have it like this already. Like, oh, next week, we have country championship, hand to hand fighting. You wanna fight? I say, let’s go. This is not only one fight, it’s like five or six fights.

“Also, I am a fighter. I have to be ready every day for tomorrow, with anybody, with everybody. For me, it’s another day in the office.”
