Rafael "Ataman" Fiziev vs. Bobby "King" Green at UFC 265 is one of my favorite fights of all time. This bout had everything: the storyline (the seasoned vet taking on the young up-and-comer), the action, the technical skills on display, unorthodox styles, trash talk, a near-comeback, and the respect between two warriors at the end of it all.

Fiziev's primary style is Muay Thai and his favorite weapons are:
Lightning fast switch kick.
Strong combos with all 8 limbs.
KO Power in his hands and feet.
Defensively, Fiziev has insane head movement and core dexterity.
Green is primarily a boxer and his favorite weapons are:
Long, fast straight punches (especially his jab).
The ability to fight from both stances.
An underrated clinch game.
Defensively, Green uses an unorthodox but effective Philly Shell / shoulder roll, combined with nice footwork.
There are many lessons we can take from this fight but two standouts are:
1) If you can't hit the head, target the body.
2) If you can't match the skill, fight the ego.
Do you agree this is one of the best MMA fights of all time? Let me know what other fighters or classic fights you want to see technique breakdowns for on this channel.
