CODY GARBRANDT

An American competitor, Cody Garbrandt transitioned from collegiate wrestling and amateur boxing into professional mixed martial arts. After debuting in 2012 and entering the UFC three years later, he captured the bantamweight championship by overcoming Dominick Cruz in 2016. Though he eventually relinquished that belt, he maintained his status as a prominent fighter by competing across the bantamweight and flyweight weight classes. His tenure is defined by an aggressive approach to striking and significant experience within the organization.

Heading into this match, the Xtreme Couture representative holds a professional mark of 15-8-0. His latest outing resulted in a technical knockout defeat against Adrian Yañez this past July. Prior to that setback, he secured a unanimous decision victory over Xiao Long in March 2026. This recent sequence also includes a decision loss to Raoni Barcelos, a submission defeat versus Deiveson Figueiredo, and a knockout win against Brian Kelleher.
