Dan Hooker out of Justin Gaethje fight at UFC 313, Rafael Fiziev volunteers to step in

Dan Hooker has been forced to withdraw from his highly anticipated fight against Justin Gaethje at UFC 313 due to injury. The setback leaves Gaethje without an opponent for the event, but Rafael Fiziev has already volunteered to step in as a replacement.

Fiziev, who previously faced Gaethje in a brutal battle at UFC 286, is eager for a rematch, saying he’s ready to step up on short notice. However, the UFC has yet to confirm if he will be the official replacement.

Gaethje, the current BMF champion, was looking to build momentum toward a potential title shot, and it remains unclear if the promotion will find a new opponent or reschedule the fight.

Would you like to see Fiziev get the rematch, or should the UFC look for another option?
