Justin Gaethje will still compete at UFC 313 in Las Vegas, but it’ll be Rafael Fiziev instead of Dan Hooker who faces him.

Rafael Fiziev will replace Dan Hooker on short notice to face Justin Gaethje in the co-main event of UFC 313 on March 8. UFC CEO Dana White announced the fight Wednesday on Instagram Live. Hooker was originally set to face Gaethje (25-5) in a five-round co-main event at UFC 313 in Las Vegas but was forced to withdraw with a hand injury less than two weeks before the fight.

Justin Gaethje believes an "outstanding performance" against Rafael Fiziev at UFC 313 will put him in the running for the next title shot against lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.Gaethje accepted Fiziev as a short-notice replacement earlier this week after Dan Hooker withdrew from the original March 8 co-main event due to a hand injury.
