Daniel Cormier praises Justin Gaethje’s uppercut mastery in win over Rafael Fiziev
Daniel Cormier was impressed by Justin Gaethje's collar tie and uppercut combination after his victory over Rafael Fiziev, pointing out how effective it was. Gaethje dropped Fiziev and shifted the fight's momentum back in his favor for the rest of it.
Fiziev opened the third round strongly, landing punches and showing great tenacity, but Gaethje didn't relent, walking his man down with a torrent of punches and control. As time passed, however, Gaethje's volume and accuracy began to take a toll on Fiziev, a toll that earned him the victory in the end.
Cormier said:
"I love when JG went to that collar uppercut—that was one of my favorite combinations. That was one of the punches I used more than anything I did inside the Octagon. Get the collar tie, throw the uppercut with the right hand. Justin dropped Raphael F with that, and from that moment, it became difficult for [Fiziev] to get him. [Fiziev] started round three very well, but then Gate just kept pouring it on, man—kept pouring it on."
