Rafael Fiziev admits crowd influenced him in first Justin Gaethje fight

UFC fighter Rafael Fiziev has admitted that the crowd may have influenced him in his first fight against Justin Gaethje.

As we know, Rafael Fiziev will battle it out with Justin Gaethje tonight in the co-main event of UFC 313. If he wins, there’s an excellent chance that he’ll be on the verge of receiving a UFC lightweight championship shot against Islam Makhachev.

With that being said, there are a lot of hurdles for him to get through. While Rafael Fiziev is tough, Gaethje is as tough as they come – as he proved by defeating Rafael during their first meeting.
