Fans Predict Fiziev vs. Bahamondes – ‘It's Not Gonna Matter'

Rafael Fiziev vs. Ignacio Bahamondes takes place on the co-main event of the Jamahal Hill vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. card, as fans picked their winner. 

Fiziev has lost his last three fights, coming up short twice against Justin Gaethje. One of those losses came after he had taken the Gaethje fight on short notice after Dan Hooker pulled out. Meanwhile, the Mateusz Gamrot defeat was compounded by a knee injury. Bahamondes has won three fights in a row, beating Christos Giagos, Manuel Torres and Jalin Turner, respectively. The wins were all the more impressive since they were first-round finishes.

Fiziev is a Muay Thai specialist whose strength lies in kicks, combinations and counters. Whereas, Bahamondes uses his reach advantage and is known for his volume and work rate. Fiziev will have to time his shots, as the openings will be there. Fiziev will look to block and slip to negate Bahamondes’ reach advantage. However, Bahamondes has a solid chin, leading to an intriguing encounter. This is who the fans saw as coming out victorious.
