Former UFC bantamweight champion Codiger Blunt is officially set in the Octagon, and he does so with a different look than we did before.
Garbrandt makes his return on June 14th when the UFC lands in Atlanta, Georgia. The match was first announced by Barcelos himself.
That would be an important battle for Garbrandt.
The popular striker became famous in 2016 for capturing the UFC bantamweight belt in a spectacular upset against Dominique Cruz. He was then poised for an incredible title reign, but eventually lost his belt on his first defense and suffered the loss of KO to TJ Dillashaw. He then lost his rematch with Dillashaw – also by KO – and unfortunately, he was quickly knocked out again by Pedro Manjoz, which led to a hit.
From there, Garbrandt got back on track with a stunning KO from Raphael Assancao. However, he lost a series of fights afterwards. First, he lost his decision on Rob Font and later made it with a knockout against Kai Kara France at flyweight.
After a disastrous trip to flyweight, Garbrandt returned to 135 pounds and things began to improve. In his first two fights in the division, he defeated Trevin Jones by decision, and Brian Kelleher defeated him with KO. However, he then lost his next recent fight and tapped out to former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo at the UFC 300 last year.
