UFC bantamweight prospect Cody Garbrandt improved his record to 9-0 at UFC Fight Night 88 with a stunning KO of Thomas Almeida. The Brazilian was on a red hot streak before meeting Garbrandt, with an undefeated record of 21-0, but ‘No Love’ was in no mood for anything more than one round in Vegas. In a fantastic display of offensive striking and footwork, Garbrandt exposed the holes in Almeida’s defense and scored a game changing first round finish.
With the bantamweight division once again being ruled by Dominick Cruz, there’s a lot of potential fights going on among the contenders, especially now the Team Alpha Male striker has shaken things up.
Since defeating ‘Terminator’ in such dominant fashion, Garbrandt has called out Bryan Caraway, who defeated Aljamain Sterling by decision at the same event. It looks as though they could potentially duke it out for the rights to the next title shot, but it’s not stopped ‘No Love’ and the current 135-pound champion Dominick Cruz from exchanging a few words.
After a number of harrowing injuries meant Cruz had to vacate the bantamweight title, he returned with a win over Takeya Mizugaki, before coming back in a big way in 2016. Beating the former Team Alpha Male standout TJ Dillashaw to recapture the title, ‘The Dominator’ aligned himself for the trilogy bout with Urijah Faber at UFC 199 this coming Saturday (June 4, 2016).
