Media Gaethje v Fiziev 2 set for UFC 313

[Hymen Crusher]

it should been Gaethje vs Jean Silva.

I would rather that then fiziev vs Mitchell

I didn't like Fiziev's excuses last time after being fake humble in the cage. I hope Justin KTFO's him this time.

Justin had a nice KO win over Poirer, but a bit of a freak thing frankly with a 1 in 100 head kick he's never landed before.

JG has 1 stoppage win in his last 6 fights.

Majority win over Fiziev last time... have a doubt he's going to KO him. Of course Justin is coming off his own lights-out-dead KO loss.

This should be a fun one.

it should been Gaethje vs Jean Silva.

So far as I understand, Silva has no intentions of moving up to 155lbs permanently.

Wouldn't make sense to take a risky short notice fight up a weight class, he just fought a week ago.

IMO this is a perfectly fine replacement fight and I'm looking forward to Silva knocking out Mitchell.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Not sure what Gaethje has to gain from this. Seems like a dumb decision if true. Also even though it'll probably be exciting, I'm not at all excited about it. Pointless rematches never really arouse me though.

A win puts him back in title contention and he's already been vocal about wanting to make 1 more title run and fight Islam.

Winner gets to get raped by Conor.

Fixed it for you

 

[Mynameisjeff]

Ultimate Rematch Championships strikes again

 

[NoSmilez]

It's Fizzy's fight to lose. He can't slip a jab or check a low kick then he deserves to lose. I don't think Justin is changing his fighting style much.

Hilarious post man.

1-100 head kick I can say the same for Fiziev's 1-100 wheel kick lol

1 stoppage in his last six fights Justin fought Khabib, Oliveira, Dustin Poirier

Fiziev fought RDA, Brad Riddell and King Green. lmao

Justin coming off a KO loss is true but he also fought hard for 24:59 seconds before that happened. Fiziev coming off two losses.

I saw in in cage video where Fiziev congratulated Justin on the win saying "everything you hit me with hurt" only to later complain about the eyepoke (which was unfortunate but he did continue) and saying Justin was running but all I remember is Justin soundly picking him apart in rounds two and three.

but i agree this will be a fun one both guys will want to make a statement and Raffy gets his chance at redemption. I only said that I hoped Justin KO's him but I think he will just pick him apart again.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Exciting and otherwise worthless.

 

[Tapatio]

Ufc did Gaethje wrong here.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Ufc did Gaethje wrong here.

lol he agreed to the fight

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Good. That was the best option on the table. Justin/Fiz was a good fight and think Fiz should have gotten the dec.

Legitimately the worst of all options.

If Fiziev has recovered from his injury and is in shape think he's the favourite.

Is this 3 or 5 rounds?

3. Why would Fiziev be the favorite?

it should been Gaethje vs Jean Silva.

The featherweight?

A win puts him back in title contention and he's already been vocal about wanting to make 1 more title run and fight Islam.

And Fiziev is the furthest from title contention out of every single option, other than Moicano, who still at least has a good name for being the last title challenger. If that's true that a win puts him in title contention, then ANY win would put him in title contention, so Fiziev being the fill-in is no better than someone like Drew Dober

lol he agreed to the fight

Yeah, he kinda has to, or else he doesn't fight and doesn't get paid.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Time for a rewatch

 

[Simple Southerner]

Ik the first fight was good but I want to see Justin fight someone eise

 

[BEATDOWNS]

R1 - Good first round I have no problem giving it to Fiziev he was just super fast with the combos and seemed like it was taking Gaethje a bit to get into the fight.

R2 - Pretty even exchanges until the accidental eyepoke at 3:35 Fiziev takes less than 30 seconds to say he is fine and ok to continue (so why the excuses later?) fight stat came up at 1:30 Head Strikes Justin 20 -11 Body Strikes Fiziev 26-8 Leg strikes Justin 6-1 I don't hink the body shots are really doing much damage Fiziev just trying to score points. Justin has landed the harder shots/combos up to this point. Really close round both guys staying in the pocket exchanging

R3 - Fiziev hurting Justin two times in the 30 seconds. Justin shoots for a single leg but fails lol Fiziev was landing some good knees in the clinch just prior. Two minutes into the third round Justin really starting to pick him apart Fiziev is fading. Lol and Justin gets he takedown at the end probably his only one in the UFC he didn't need it he just did it lol

Final Thoughts: Super close fight the only real clear round was round three Justin battered him for the last three minutes. Great fight to run back imho both guys get a chance to make a statement and under very different circumstances which makes it interesting. imho I am a lot more familiar with Gaethje's fights but man Fiziev was a Dawg in that fight,

I genuinely hope they close down the LW division again. Seriously, this is the best they can offer in modern day? There's only 1 fighter ranked in the top 10 under 34 this year... "most stacked division in MMA"

 

[CobraCobretti]

This actually isn't one of those rematches I wanted to see, so not hyped at all. JBG can prove me wrong if he wants.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Bet on Fiziev big last time

He let me down big

Still think he should ko Gaethe but his volume leaves tons to be desired

That's a weird phrasing. "under 34 this year." So the two guys who are 33 don't count because they'll turn 34 in the final quarter of this year? Only having turned 33 two-four months ago?

 

[Objectively Correct]

YES!!!! Finally some good things. Fizzy was robbed anyways, MMA gods righting their wrong
