LAS VEGAS – The lightweight rematch between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev has the green light for UFC 313 following official weigh-ins.
Gaethje (25-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) will return for the first time since his 2024 Knockout of the Year loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300 in April when he rematches Fiziev (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in the co-main event Saturday at T-Mobile Arena (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+).
Former BMF titleholder Gaethje stepped on the scale at 156 pounds during Friday’s weigh-in session at the UFC host hotel in “Sin City.” Fiziev was just one fighter behind him, and fourth to the scale overall. He came in at 156, as well, ahead of his attempt to avenge a March 2023 majority decision defeat.
