Justin Gaethje vs Rafael Fiziev is much more interesting than Justin vs Dan Hooker.
Even though it's a rematch, their first fight was incredible — extremely close, and many people even scored it for Rafael. On top of that, he's younger than Hooker (with only 3 losses in his career, while Dan has 12), and his last loss came from the injury against Mateusz Gamrot. In other words, his last two losses were very circumstantial. Rafael has great takedown defense and, if he beats Justin, he’ll become a much more exciting prospect. For me, the UFC 313 card just got even better! submitted by /u/AfterInformation8171 [link] [comments]
