Back at UFC 202, Cody Garbrandt put his record and standing in the UFC’s bantamweight division on the line against Takeya Mizugaki in a meeting of contenders.
In short order, the 25-year-old Garbrandt proved why he just might be the future of the 135-pound division, taking out Mizugaki and moving into a meeting with champion Dominick Cruz at UFC 207.
Garbrandt and Cruz will square off December 30 in the co-main event of UFC 207 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Garbrandt, a member of Team Alpha Male, will try to do what mentor Urijah Faber was unable to do in taking the strap off “The Dominator.”
