Cody Garbrandt wants to ‘Smack around’ UFC star Sean O’Malley in future title clash, sees ‘Money fight’ coming

Cody Garbrandt believes a “money fight” with Sean O’Malley is in his future, and says he’d love to “smack…

Cody Garbrandt believes a “money fight” with Sean O’Malley is in his future, and says he’d love to “smack around” the current UFC bantamweight champion.

Now 3-2 in his last five, Garbrandt is riding a two-fight win streak and is looking to continue his momentum after an impressive stoppage over Brian Kelleher at UFC 296.

The idea of a fight between O’Malley and Garbrandt had been bounced around by media and fans alike for years, but the two fighters’ paths could never seem to align. Now, O’Malley is the champion of the bantamweight division and Cody Garbrandt is a big name riding an impressive streak. Even if another fight or two is needed, Garbrandt is chomping at the bit to get his opportunity to shine against “Suga” Sean O’Malley.

Cody Garbrandt talks about his desire for the Sean O’Malley Fight

Speaking to ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, Garbrandt opened up about his current ambitions, and his desire to regain UFC gold.

“If Sean’s still the champion when it’s my time to punch that ticket again, I would absolutely love that,” Garbrandt told ESPN (H/T Yahoo Sports). “And if he’s not and I’ve got to work my way to Sean if he loses, if he’s ranked – all these rankings are a bunch of bullsh*t to be honest.”

“It just never made sense to me, but that’s beside the point. I think a clash course with Sean is definitely in the near future, a money fight. That’s what it’s all about. What is going to bring the most eyes to these fights. Sean and I have history. I would just love to go and smack him around.”

After his spectacular win over Brian Kelleher, Cody Garbrandt called out former champion Deiveson Figueiredo, who he explained that he viewed as the tougher test.

“I think Deiveson’s far more dangerous than Sean O’Malley,” Garbrandt claimed. “I truly believe that. Sean’s got good skills. He’s got good things, but Deiveson is the next adversary that I want to fight. That’s what I’m focused on. That’s what I want.”

Cody Garbrandt shuts down talk of UFC 300 rematch with Dominick Cruz: ‘That fight doesn’t interest me’

Amid calls from the mixed martial arts fanbase for a bantamweight rematch between former champions, Cody Garbrandt and Dominick…

Amid calls from the mixed martial arts fanbase for a bantamweight rematch between former champions, Cody Garbrandt and Dominick Cruz at UFC 300 in April of next year, the former has claimed a potential re-do with the latter simply does not interest him at the moment.

Garbrandt, a former undisputed bantamweight champion, made his return to the Octagon at UFC 296 earlier this month, extending his winning streak to two fights for the first time since 2016, landing a first round KO win over Brian Kelleher.

As for Cruz, the San Diego favorite has yet to make his return to the Octagon since he saw his impressive two-fight winning run halted by incoming UFC 299 headliner and title challenger, Marlon Vera – courtesy of a hellacious high-kick knockout at UFC San Diego back in August of last year.

Sharing the Octagon at UFC 206 back in 2016, the then-unbeaten, Garbrandt turned in a remarkable performance against two-time gold holder, Cruz, landing a dominant unanimous decision win over the veteran in a massive upset victory in the pair’s co-main event slot.

Cody Garbrandt dismisses Dominick Cruz rematch

And despite calling for a rescheduled pairing with former flyweight gold holder, Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 300 next year, Garbrandt has been urged to rematch Cruz at the monumental event, however, insists he has no interest in a re-run.

“Honestly, that fight [with Dominick Cruz] doesn’t interest me,” Cody Garbrandt told ESPN. “What else am I supposed to do with the guy? I mean, go in and knock him out this time? That’s the onle thing that would go put a statement or top that. It’s so hard to top that performance.”

“At the end of the day, Deiveson Figueiredo coming to the bantamweight division and having a win over Rob Font, I go knock Deiveson out, and it puts me right back in title contention,” Cody Garbrandt explained. “That’s what I’m here to do. I don’t want to be a runnerup in this sport. I always wnat to be at the top. I think that fight stylistically and everything it mounts to put me back in the top.”

“I would love to fight Deiveson Figueiredo,” Cody Garbrandt told assembled media after UFC 296. “I think that’s a great fight – two former world champions. He’s now at the bantamweight division. That’s a fight that should have happened years ago. I was obviously taken out from COVID, but flyweight is not my weight – bantamweight is. I feel really good here, I love that fight. I talked to Sean (Shelby) about it. He’s all for it. UFC 300 – I think that would be an amazing, amazing card to put us on.”

“It gets me hungry, it gets me motivated and driven to go in there and face one of the best flyweights that came up with the bantamweight former world champion,” Cody Garbrandt continued. “We’re both on our way back to the top. That’s what we want. That’s why we’re in this sport to be the best. I think trailblazing through him puts me right to the top.”
