Cody Garbrandt was once touted as one of the best fighters on the UFC roster. After his recent failure at the Bantamweight division, he wishes to drop down a weight class.
When the former 125 pounds champ got wind of the arrival of a former champ in his division, he couldn’t help but welcome him. Henry Cejudo told Cody that the latter wouldn’t have an easy path in the Flyweight division.
Garbrandt saw it fit to fire back at “Triple C”. He tweeted that the champ is the one who always calls the shots. Hence, if Cejudo wants to fight Cody, then the latter will have to fight the former Olympic champion. He added that irrespective of the weight class, the champion always faces a tough road.
We will see you. If you are calling the shots and picking your fights. Then I’ll see you soon. We all know when you’re the champ you call the shots. No easy way out for you at any weight class. https://t.co/UKHPhIU3f9

Cody Garbrandt won the UFC Bantamweight title at UFC 207 by dethroning Dominick Cruz. People expected the reign of “No Love” to last for a long time. Garbrandt was undefeated up till that point in time. However, his very next fight would break his winning streak.
Garbrandt lost the title in his very first fight as the champ. His arch-rival T.J. Dillashaw knocked him out. Garbrandt failed to bounce back in the rematch as well when he suffered a similar fate. In his most recent outing, he suffered another knockout loss at the hands of Pedro Munhoz.
Cody Garbrandt wishes to drop down to Flyweight after fighting Raphael Assuncao
Following three consecutive losses, Garbrandt wants to shake things up a bit. With age on his side, the 28-year old wishes to explore the Flyweight division as soon as possible. The only thing that is keeping him at the 135-pounds division is his impending fight with Raphael Assuncao.
In an interview with ESPN, Cody said that he wishes to move down a weight class as soon as possible. He was scheduled to fight Assuncao at UFC on ESPN 8. An injury removed Garbrandt from the card. However, the outbreak of Coronavirus later led to the scrapping of the card altogether.
Garbrandt said that cutting weight wouldn’t be an issue for him. He added that he walks around at 145 pounds. Therefore, dropping down to 125 pounds wouldn’t be that big of a deal.
