Azerbaijani UFC fighter Rafael Fiziev admitted that speaking Azerbaijani is difficult for him.

He stated that his father is Azerbaijani and his mother is Russian: "In the place where I grew up, they don't speak Azerbaijani. But over time, I'm learning the language more closely. I hope to speak freely soon."

Fiziev also commented on Conor McGregor's return to the UFC: "His return is great news. However, he hasn't fought for five years. His opponent is a young fighter with exciting fights. So it will be tough for him."

Note that "UFC Fight Night" will take place on June 27 at the National Gymnastics Arena. In the main fight, Fiziev will face Manuel Torres in the lightweight division. Other Azerbaijani fighters - Tahir Abdullayev, Nazim Sadykhov, and Farman Hasanov - will also enter the octagon.
