Ride or Die Gaethje or Fiziev

I think Gaethje is able to finish Fiziev in the 3rd. They will inflict a lot of damage on each other and I think Fiziev on short notice, doesn't have the same gas tank as he did in the last fight which leads to getting caught and put out.

3rd co main, that sucks.

Anyhow, I'll take Justin 29-28 or a late TKO then.

I don't think the KO will affect him. He was KO'd twice vs Eddie and Poirier and then came back on a great streak KOing everyone he fought. You can see he comes back strong after every loss, same with Khabib and then after Olivera. He already shows he's in a good head space and motivated. Even said he's bringing back WSOF Gaethje.

He also talked about retirement for the first time.

Father Time: undefeated. And Justin has been through more wars than almost anyone.

I love the guy, like every MMA fan should. But I bet Fisiev here. If I'm wrong, won't be heartbroken because Justin is amazing and it means we see him again. But my head says Fisiev gets him.
 
Want Fiziev and not really looking forward to see Justin get knocked out as hard as last time again so hope its a decision with no fouls

Gaethje fan here and +1 for massive respect for Raphael for stepping uo and keeping Gaethje on the card and in a likely barn buster of beautiful violence

I was pumped for the jg vs Dan Hooker fight, and very disappointed when it got canned.

This is as good a replacement as we could have hoped for.

Just Bleed.

It's okay to talk about retirement, many fighters do and yet they perform exceptionally well.

Fiziev is not in the best condition taking this fight. He's coming of a 18 month lay off, a serious knee injury and on short notice, 11 days. I mean, the man fatigued the last fight towards the end of round 2 after he started taking heavier shots, and that was on a full camp, being very active and not injured.

It's gonna be interesting the first round to 8 mins, I think Fiviev can do something in that time frame and get it done. But I think once we get into back half of round 2 and 3, it heavily favors Gaethje.

I want a Justin bloodbath but I think this fight is Fizzy's to lose. If Fizzy still doesn't know how to check a kick or slip a jab then he deserves to lose.
 
Fiziev. I think the potential disappearance of Gaethje's chin will matter more than Fiziev coming back from a knee injury

It took max 24:59 min to do that Fiz only has 15
 
It really is too bad it's a 3 rounder... this deserves a 5 rd treatment for sure.

I'm going to pick Fiziev.... after getting KTFO like he did.... I don't know if Justin will be fully functional.
 
Fiziev has a better chance than he did 2 years ago, I still think it's pretty close to 50/50.

I'll bet Fiziev takes it by rnd 2 tko
 
Gaethje by decision in a FOTY contender
