Justin Gaethje relishes seeing Rafael Fiziev “drown” in his own blood.
Gaethje and Fiziev shared the Octagon inside the O2 Arena in London, England in the co-main event of UFC 286. “The Highlight” and Fiziev had a three-round barn burner that resulted in “Fight of the Night” bonuses for both men. Ultimately, it was Gaethje who scored the majority decision victory.

“My coach told me. I heard him saying, ‘Stay on the jab.’ Once I landed the first three, I couldn’t believe how clean I was landing,” Gaethje said. “There’s different kind of shots that you land in there. When you feel the full force of energy go in direct lines through their head, it’s a different shot. That’s what I was feeling.
“He wanted to taste my blood, but unfortunately he was drowning in his blood. I’m happy about that.”
