Always the aggressor, Garbrandt pushed the pace early, throwing heavy strikes in search of a home run shot, Thomas, meanwhile, played it a bit more cautiously, preferring to play defense and counter strike when possible. two minutes, in, “No Love” landed a clean left hook that rocked the Brazilian bomber. Immediately, Cody jumped in with a barrage of strikes, though Almeida was able to recover.

About 30 seconds later, however, Garbrandt landed a vicious right hand right on the chin of his foe, sending him crashing to the canvas. A few hammer fists later, and it was all she wrote, as Garbrandt went on to secure the win and his ninth straight victory.

After winning the title later that year, Cody’s reign was short-lived, as he was knocked out by TJ Dillashaw at UFC 217. His woes didn’t end there, however, as Dillashaw knocked him out again at UFC 227, while Pedro Munhoz did the same at UFC 235.

Garbrandt will look to end his three-fight skid when he takes Raphael Assuncao in a pivotal bout this Saturday (June 6, 2020) at UFC 250 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s a must-win situation for “No Love,” as four straight losses won’t look good for his future title aspirations.
