UFC 313 faceoff video: Justin Gaethje, Rafael Fiziev respectful in first rematch faceoff

LAS VEGAS – Almost two years after the first meeting, Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev came together again Thursday ahead of their UFC 313 rematch.

Gaethje (25-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) won the first meeting by majority decision in March 2023 in the Fight of the Night at UFC 286. Eager for revenge, Fiziev (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) stepped in as a short-notice replacement for the injured Dan Hooker and will run things back in Saturday’s lightweight co-main event at T-Mobile Arena (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+).

After answering questions from reporters at the pre-fight press conference, Gaethje and Fiziev once again had the chance to size each other up in their first fight week staredown.

Check out the video above to see the Gaethje vs. Fiziev faceoff from the UFC 313 pre-fight press conference.
