Cody Garbrandt claims his future rests in the UFC flyweight division, but he still has a final piece of business to take care of at bantamweight, first. Garbrandt (11-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC), the former UFC champ at 135 pounds, is on a three-fight losing skid dating back to when he dropped the gold in November 2017. He has been sidelined more than 13 months due to injuries and was recently forced to withdraw from a scheduled bout with Raphael Assuncao at UFC on ESPN 8 (an event that was ultimately postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic). The fight with Assuncao is something Garbrandt still hopes to book when he’s healthy and UFC events start rolling again. However, “No Love” said he won’t be sticking around the division beyond that
