The Co-Main event promises to be a great lightweight match, despite the late changes it has undergone.
On the return of the UFC to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 8, Justin Gaethje will be confronted in a rematch opposite Rafael Fiziev against Rafael Fiziev.
The first meeting between Gaethje and Fiziev has stolen the show at UFC 286 in London with 'The loarking' digging Deep to get away with the majority decision.
Both men have something to prove in this rematch that came after Hooker was replaced by Fiziev because of an injured hand.
While 'Ataman' is looking for revenge on UFC 313 after a long resignation, Gaethje wants to jump back from the most devastating loss of his career.

Max Holloway with confidence side sides with Justin Gaethje on UFC 313
For a good reason, Justin Gaethje is known as 'the highlight', but in his last fight at UFC 300 he was the wrong end of an iconic moment.
In the last seconds of their BMF title fight, Max Holloway produced one of the very best knockouts we have ever seen in the Octagon.
Gaethje has since taken some free time and talked about adjustments that he will implement this Saturday evening against Rafael Fiziev.
During a recent YouTube video, Holloway gave his opinion on the main map matchups where the opportunities on the UFC website were everything he needed to make his choice for the Co-Main event.
Despite the fact that Fiziev is greatly assessed, 'Blessed' believes that his former opponent will be fired to leave his last fight behind and that makes him a very dangerous underdog.
“This will be a Vechtman. Now that Gaethje comes in when the underdog, this is easy to choose for me. You have to roll with Gaethje, especially from his last fight. He wants to erase that last loss with something huge, so I'll call this now. I choose Justin Gaethje and I go with his nickname man, he will have a highlight of this fight. “
“I think Justin, he has a lot to prove. I really can't wait, I really can't wait to see Justin go back and do his thing. “
Justin Gaethje has said that he will be more aggressive in this fight
If there is one thing that we know for sure that Justin has taken over Gaethje from his loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300, this is a change in approach.
During the UFC 313 Fight Week, 'the highlight' spoke about viewing the battle for the first time and deciding that he should make a change, despite his own performance on that night.
For Gaethje, that adjustment is more aggressive as he was previously in his UFC career and before he made his debut in the Octagon.
The former BMF champion believes that with the improved technical side of his game will make him even more dangerous on 8 March.
