It was a difficult road back for Cody Garbrandt and Brian Kelleher , but they’ve finally secured their next assignments: each other. At UFC 296 , Gabrandt (13-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) and Kelleher (24-14 MMA, 8-7 UFC) will return from injuries to face off in a bantamweight bout. The event takes place Dec. 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Marcel Dorff was first to report the news Wednesday on X , formerly known as Twitter.
