Cody Garbrandt still maintains an interest in dropping down to flyweight.
Garbrandt recently snapped a three-fight losing streak with an emphatic knockout of Raphael Assuncao at UFC 250 last month.
It got many within the mixed martial arts world excited about a resurgence for the former champion who has since outlined his goal of becoming a two-time bantamweight king.
However, he also previously outlined his desire to move down to flyweight.
And following Deiveson Figueiredo’s dominant win over Joseph Benavidez to become the new 125-pound champion this past weekend, Garbrandt’s feelings reportedly remain the same according to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.
“Who could challenge Deiveson Figueiredo at 125 ? How about Cody Garbrandt (@Cody_Nolove)? Cody told me just a few months ago he wants to drop, would have no trouble making the weight … and even though he’s back in the 135 win column, I hear he still feels this way.”
Following his win over Benavidez, the Brazilian did mention his interest of taking part in super fights and eventually becoming a two-division champion. He also stated he wanted to defend his flyweight title so one would assume he would be open to facing Garbrandt.
For now, this is simply just speculation as there are a few flyweights ready to challenge Figueiredo for his new crown anyway.
Regardless, would you be interested in seeing Figueiredo vs. Garbrandt? Who wins?

Marlon Moraes is the latest fighter to test positive for COVID-19.
Moraes made the revelation in an interview with ESPN Brazil on Monday, adding that he felt symptoms around 10 days prior. His wife was also infected but his children remain unaffected.
“Unfortunately, I got the virus — me and my wife,” Moraes said. “We were very weak, the symptoms were very strong on us. Thank God I didn’t need to go to the hospital, but I had to take my wife to the hospital. We spent a day at the hospital. She was treated by them, she took some medicines, then she stayed under observation.”
Although weakened a bit, “Magic” made sure to catch the vacant bantamweight title bout between Petr Yan and Jose Aldo at UFC 251 this past weekend. Despite the animosity he had with Aldo following his controversial split decision win over him in December, Moraes was hoping for his compatriot to emerge victorious.
In the end, Yan came away with the fifth-round TKO win to become the new champion
“It was a good fight, José Aldo is a legend of the sport,” he said. “I thought he had a good fight, he showed that he wanted to win, but Yan was better than him and we have to respect him. Aldo is not very used to losing, but in the sport, unfortunately one wins and one loses, so we have to support him. Unfortunately the belt didn’t come [home]. I’m here, other Brazilians are also in the race.”
The question now turns to who Yan should defend his title against first.
Moraes was originally scheduled to face Yan at UFC Kazakhstan last month before the event was canceled and is certainly a contender among others such as Aljamain Sterling.
However, Moraes claims to have accepted a fight with Cody Garbrandt for next month and is just waiting to hear from the promotion at the moment.
“The fight [the UFC has] to do now is me versus Cody,” Moraes added. “And I think they will put [Aljamain] Sterling to fight Yan and whoever wins between me and Cody will be the next to fight for the belt.
“The [UFC] is already planning [Moraes-Garbrandt] for October. The fight has already been offered, on my part it has already been accepted, I’m just waiting for the UFC.”

“Yan is too slow!!
“We have unfinished business!! I’ll break him in 2 rounds Ko him in the 3rd I want to break his will.

Yan responded to the former champion on Sunday with a simple dig.
“And you are too dumb, no chin 
”

Garbrandt responded soon after:
“Let’s find out, we have unfinished business!! You only act tough when your rat looking friend got his camera out.”
The unfinished business Garbrandt is referring to is the heated confrontation the pair had backstage at UFC 245 back in December following Yan’s win over Urijah Faber.
For now, at least, Garbrandt will need at least one more win if he wants a crack at regaining his old title. But it will certainly be one heck of a fight should the pair eventually meet in the future.
Who do you think wins?
