Justin Gaethje called out for 'nose job' fight against fellow UFC star

UFC star Rafael Fiziev wants to fight Justin Gaethje to declare the 'nose job king' after both men recently underwent the same surgery.

Fiziev recently picked up the biggest win of his UFC career by knocking out former champion Rafael Dos Anjos earlier this month, but the Kyrgyzstani had a price to pay for the victory after leaving the octagon with a broken nose. Gaethje also underwent nose surgery last week following his loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 274 in May.

A win over Dos Anjos has pushed Fiziev up to No.7 in the UFC's lightweight rankings, four spots under Gaethje. Playing down potential fights with Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, Fiziev said he wants to fight Gaethje to test out who underwent the better nose job.
