‘Fans Have Spoken’ – Justin Gaethje vs Rafael Fiziev Set to Steal the Show at UFC 313 Explains UFC Veteran

Chael Sonnen thinks Justin Gaethje vs. Rafael Fiziev is going to steal the show at UFC 313.

Originally, Gaethje was scheduled to square off with Dan Hooker in a fight that had fans salivating from the moment it was announced. Unfortunately, ‘Hangman’ was forced to bow out after breaking his hand whilst training. That paved the way for the return of Fiziev, who steps in on short notice after sitting on the sidelines for more than a year.
