Former interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje is back to winning ways for the first time in almost two years, landing a unanimous decision win over Kazakh contender, Rafael Fiziev over the course of three rounds in their back-and-forth rematch in the co-headliner of UFC 313.
Gaethje, the current number three ranked contender, battled with Tiger Muay Thai ace, Fiziev back in 2023 in a trip to London, landing a close majority decision win over the-then surging striker.
However, tonight, putting their rematch beyond doubt in a short-notice rematch, Arizona veteran, Gaethje would land a unanimous decision win (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) victory over Fiziev — after a three round war in ‘Sin City’.
