Cody “No Love” Garbrandt (11-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC)
Cody Garbrandt has 9 professional mixed martial arts wins by way of KO/TKO and only two wins that have gone the distance. ‘No Love’ has TNT dynamite in his hands, with a great understanding of when to throw them. Garbrandt is extremely fast and has amazing footwork to go along with his boxing skills.
Cody’s hands are really what makes him special and knockouts in the UFC on his title shot run perfectly illustrate that. Garbrandt’s first-round knockouts over Augusto Mendes, Takeya Mizugaki, and especially the then-undefeated Thomas Almeida put him right into title contention. Garbrandt’s violent hands utilize lightning-fast combinations, and a lethal right hand truly strikes fear into many opponents in the UFC’s bantamweight division.
Garbrandt is on a three-fight losing streak that began with his first loss to TJ Dillashaw at UFC 217. Many fans believed that fighters had figured out the hole in Garbrandt’s stand up defense. UFC 250 will be the first time the fans see Garbrandt in well over a year, giving him some rebuilding time to further evolve and tweak parts of his mixed martial arts skills.
