Justin Gaethje's fight at UFC 313 was a thrilling event. However, it wasn't just his performance that grabbed attention. Gaethje's gloves were missing the UFC logo, which sparked a lot of debate among fans. The gloves were official UFC gear, but the logo got rubbed off during taping. Gaethje decided to stick with the gloves he had, rather than switching to a new pair. He explained this at the post-fight press conference, saying that the gloves were taped to prevent any flakes from getting into his or his opponent's eyes. The gloves were not defective, but the missing logo led to rumors and speculation.

Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen discussed the glove controversy on their podcast. Sonnen mentioned that some fans believed Gaethje was wearing gloves from "The Ultimate Fighter. " Cormier, however, dismissed this idea, saying that the gloves were the same as the official UFC gloves, just without the logo. He also addressed the theory that the gloves were from Trevor Whitman’s company ONX and that the logo was scrubbed off. Cormier found this idea ridiculous, emphasizing that the gloves were the same as the official UFC gloves.

Gaethje's performance against Rafael Fiziev was impressive. He dominated the fight and landed some powerful shots. This win improved his record to 2-0 against Fiziev. Gaethje is now looking ahead to a title shot. He stated that he wants to fight for the title and is prepared to face whoever the UFC puts in front of him. Gaethje is aware that his time in the sport is limited, so he is aggressively campaigning for a title shot. He mentioned during the post-fight interview that he is rooting for a title shot next. He also pointed out that fighting for the belt would be a different matchup than his fight against Fiziev. Gaethje is once again in the talks for getting a title shot, but the big question is whether he will get the chance to fight for the title soon.
