Off the back of tonight’s win at UFC 313, has put the brakes on a trilogy rubber match with two-fight rival, Dustin Poirier next, claiming he doesn’t want either of their families to witness them competing opposite each other anymore.
Gaethje, the current number three ranked lightweight contender, returned to winning-ways tonight with an impressive decision win over short-notice foe and former rival, Rafael Fiziev in an impromptu co-main event rematch.
Taking home a second career win over the Tiger Muay Thai star, Gaethje would ride out a second and third round win against the former, dropping the Kazakh striker with a well-placed uppercut in close midway through the round.
