The Highlight Reel is officially back.
UFC President Dana White confirmed on Saturday that a lightweight matchup between Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev is set for UFC 286, which takes place March 18 at the O2 Arena in London.
Gaethje also confirmed the booking on Twitter.
“The Highlight” will look to bounce back from a submission loss against Charles Oliveira in the lightweight championship main event at UFC 274 in May.
Fiziev has won six straight inside the octagon, including eye-opening finishes in his two past outings against Rafael dos Anjos and Brad Riddell. Fiziev also has victories against Bobby Green and Renato Moicano during this impressive win streak.
