Rafael Fiziev apologizes to his fans after the second career loss of Justin Gaethje
Although he fails in the scor cards of the jury members by unanimous decision, Fiziev took a bonus with him for his efforts against Gaethje. In the meantime, Gaethje could be the following for UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev.
While Fiziev is concerned with the suffering of the jaws of the defeat for the second time in three fights against Gaethje, the 32-year-old looks ahead to what the next is while he wants to get back into the title mix.
In a recent message on X Fiziev addressed his followers after his 'Fight of the Night' with Gaethje.
“Sorry guys, I disappointed you and didn't get the victory,” Fiziev posted. “Congratulations to Justin, it was great to share Octagon with you.”
Fortunately for Fiziev, his stock will probably not take an important hit after UFC 313. He remains a dangerous top 15 -light weight that could possibly challenge a title before he walks away.
Justin Gaethje took out one controversial fight after UFC 313
While Gaethje has a possible title conflict with Makhachev in his visor after UFC 313, he eliminated a possible matchup after beating Fiziev. Gaethje is not interested in opposing Dustin Poirier in a trilogy when he hangs the gloves in his pension fight later this year.
Gaethje bounced back from a brutal knockout loss to Max Holloway in his last fight on UFC 300. After a full year off to recover from Holloway's defeat, many speculated that Gaethje on his last legs was on his last legs that UFC 313 introduces.
But Gaethje has impressively rejected that story on UFC 313 and makes a strong thing for a title shot. He is looking for salvation after Titleschoten shot short against Charles Oliveira and Khabib Nurmagomedov during his career.
