Rafael Fiziev scored the signature win of his career Saturday night when he dropped Renato Moicano in the first round at UFC 256. Fiziev (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) had an opportunity to show a bigger audience what he’s all about in his lightweight bout with Moicano (14-4-1 MMA, 6-4 UFC), who has shared the octagon with some of the biggest names in the sport. A right hand followed by perfectly placed left hook spelled the end, as Fiziev loaded up and put Moicano down to the canvas at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
