Gaethje (25-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) was knocked out in the last second of his BMF title fight against Max Holloway last April. Although he was down on the scorecards, Gaethje saw the fight differently when he watched it back for the first time.

Max Holloway excitedly supports Gaethje as an underdog in the rematch at UFC 313. Gaethje won their previous encounter, but Fiziev is favored based on current betting odds. Gaethje is on a mission to come back strong after his recent knockout loss to Holloway.

Justin Gaethje achieved a unanimous win against Rafael Fiziev at UFC 313, marking his comeback after a TKO defeat to Max Holloway. Fiziev replaced Dan Hooker due to injury, providing tough competition despite a lower rank.
