Top UFC lightweights, Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fisiev, have a different take on how their fight, which was one of the most exciting confrontations of last year, went down.
“Gaethje was running from me for two rounds,” “The Ataman” told The AllStar. “He only started winning after poking me in the eye with his finger because I couldn’t see anything with my right eye. He only fought well after the poke in the eye, and in the third round when I started getting tired.”
It didn’t take long for the American to respond.
“It doesn’t look good,” Gaethje wrote on social media, commenting on the Azerbaijani fighter’s interview. “I hit him so hard he forgot which eye the poke was in. Your right eye I set on fire with my right hand, kid.”
Recall that the fight between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fisieff, which took place last March at UFC 286 in London, went the full distance and ended with the victory of the American by a majority of the judges’ votes.
