Justin Gaethje plans to implement a regression in his fighting style at UFC 313, and Paul Felder loves the idea.
After suffering a Knockout of the Year loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300 last April, Gaethje (25-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) returns to competition on Saturday in a co-main event rematch with Rafael Fiziev (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+).
The biggest question mark around Gaethje coming into the event is how the loss to Holloway could impact him not just physically and in terms of durability, but mentally, as well.
