Justin Gaethje is back in the win column and on the hunt for another crack at the UFC lightweight title.
Gaethje (26-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) defeated Rafael Fiziev (12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) this past Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 313 in Las Vegas, putting behind his scary KO loss to Max Holloway at last year’s UFC 300. After the bout, Gaethje made clear his intentions of wanting to fight for the belt once again and said confidently that he’s back in the mix.
Did Gaethje put himself back in title contention with his latest win? How is the title picture shaping up at 155 pounds?
MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn, Danny Segura and host “Gorgeous” George discuss Gaethje’s big win over Fiziev, and where this puts him in the top of the lightweight division.
