UFC 313 faceoff video: Justin Gaethje, Rafael Fiziev exchange final words during last staredown

LAS VEGAS – A potential Fight of the Year contender is one step closer to reality after the final UFC 313 faceoff between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev.

Former BMF champion Gaethje (25-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) and Fiziev (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) will meet Saturday in a lightweight rematch at T-Mobile Arena (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+). First, however, they had one last staredown at the ceremonial weigh-ins.

After winning the first meeting by majority decision at UFC 286 in March 2023, Gaethje will look to rebound from his UFC 300 knockout loss to Max Holloway by repeating the feat. Fiziev will look to avenge the result.

Check out the video above to see the Gaethje and Hooker square off on the eve of UFC 313.
