Former interim UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje summarized his fight with Rafael Fisieff.

The American defeated the Azerbaijani by unanimous decision of the judges in the co-main event of UFC 313 in Las Vegas, USA.

"Rafael is a tough opponent. Seriously. He's a world-class fighter. And he deserves credit for coming out on 12 days notice and fighting to the end, not getting exhausted. Our sport is freaking crazy. I think I broke my hand. But I fought a really tough asshole.

Who's gonna be next? Who knows? I'm number three in the rankings, I'm the most entertaining fighter to ever step into the octagon, however, I don't have a choice. The UFC makes all the decisions. Let's see what plans the promotion has," said the American.
