Rafael Fiziev gets an opportunity for revenge this weekend.
The Azerbaijani striker answered the short notice call to take on Justin Gaethje for a second time at this weekend’s UFC 313 event in Las Vegas, filling in for the unfortunate Dan Hooker who was forced to withdraw after sustaining a hand injury in training.
The hastily-arranged Fiziev-Gaethje rematch comes almost exactly two years after their first meeting in the cage, on which occasion it was the American who emerged with a majority decision win following a bloody, three-round brawl.
And if it has the same level of excitement, those watching UFC 313 this weekend are in for a treat. Check out their first fight below.
