'The Highlight' returns to UFC 313 while he wants to achieve a large Bounceback win in the lightweight division.
This Saturday, Justin Gaethje will be confronted against Rafael Fiziev against Rafael Fiziev in a late Co-Main event on the return of the UFC to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The former interim light weight champion was previously planned to be against Dan Hooker until 'The Hangman' withdrew due to a hand injury.
In the structure of the fight, Gaethje has unveiled an important lesson that he has learned from his loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300.
He is now planning to implement parts of his old style with his more refined technical skills to make himself more dangerous than ever before.

Justin Gaethje builds his perfect hunter and chooses himself to kick
An even more aggressive Justin Gaethje is indeed a scary prospect, but the former BMF title holder would not choose all his own attributes when building the perfect hunter.
That is exactly what he was asked to do in a recent interview with TNT Sports, where he was instructed to select power, cardio, stairs, fighting IQ, wrestling, chin and speed to create an unstoppable force.
Gaethje chose himself for the Kicks category and for a good reason for the bonus-winning machine is one of the most devastating legers we have ever seen in the Octagon.
Not to mention his emphatic main kick Knock -Out about Dustin Poirier on UFC 291 to win the BMF title in their Rematch.
In the other striking category, Gaethje chose the light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira of the UFC who heads the card on 8 March in a title defense against Magomed Ankalaev.
Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili received two places for both cardio and fighting IQ while his former opponent, Max Holloway, was his choice for Chin.
The last two places went to lightweight champion Islam Makhachev for wrestling and stream weight champion Zhang Weili for speed.
Justin Gaethje tried to fight more in his first fight with Rafael Fiziev
In their first meeting at UFC 286 in London, Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev did not surprisingly stolen the show with a fight of the night.
In his interview after the fight he admitted that he intended not to get caught in a fight like in some of his earlier fights, but a change in the game plan admitted this.
After struggling in the first round when he tried to fight Fiziev from outside, Gaethje started to achieve more success when he put his opponent on the back foot.
Although his general game has taken a long way during his UFC career, his aggressive style and damage output is still some Gaethje separates from others.
