Justin Gaethje entered UFC 313 hoping he’d be considered for the next shot at lightweight champion Islam Makhachev if victorious, and it appears he just might be.

Justin Gaethje hopes the third time's the charm when it comes to the UFC lightweight title. After a brutal knockout loss to Max Holloway last April, "The Highlight" returned to the win column with a hard-fought unanimous decision triumph over Rafael Fiziev in the UFC 313 co-main event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

One of the UFC's biggest stars returns on Saturday when light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira faces the man many believe to be his biggest test at 205 pounds, Magomed Ankalaev. The pair headline UFC 313 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
