Cody Garbrandt is without an opponent for his next fight.
Former UFC Bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt was scheduled to return to action against Rani Yahya at the UFC Apex, Las Vegas on July 9 at UFC Vegas 58.
Yahya has been reportedly forced to withdraw from the match due to a neck injury. He’s expected to remain on the sidelines from training for at least four weeks with no concrete timeline for his return to the octagon as of yet, as reported by MMA Fighting. Having dropped only one in the last five years, Yahya was looking to extend his win streak to three after dispatching both Ray Rodriguez and Kyung Ho Kang.
It remains to be seen whether Garbrandt will remain on the card and be matched up with a timely replacement or if he will be scrapped from the card for a future event.
‘No Love’ was going into the bout reeling off five losses in his previous six. Of those five losses, four were by knockout or technical knockout. His last outing and debut at flyweight against Kai Kara-France did not go his way as he got knocked out in the first round at UFC 269. The sole win for Garbrandt since December 2016 was against Raphael Assuncao, who he knocked out right before the bell in round two in June 2020.
Garbrandt was moving back up to the 135-lbs division, a weight class he ruled before succumbing to two consecutive defeats to TJ Dillashaw.
UFC Vegas 58 will be headlined by Rafael dos Anjos who faces Rafael Fiziev at the UFC Apex Arena this July 9.
Following the change, UFC Vegas 58’s card stands as below:
The July 9 UFC bantamweight showdown between former champion Cody Garbrandt and Rani Yahya has been canceled after Yahya withdrew from the fight. According to a report from MMA Fighting, it was a neck injury that forced Yahya to withdraw from the bout. There is currently no word yet on if Garbrandt will remain on…

The July 9 UFC bantamweight showdown between former champion Cody Garbrandt and Rani Yahya has been canceled after Yahya withdrew from the fight.
According to a report from MMA Fighting, it was a neck injury that forced Yahya to withdraw from the bout. There is currently no word yet on if Garbrandt will remain on the card.
Garbrandt is coming off of a UFC flyweight debut that didn’t go according to plan, as he was knocked out by Kai Kara-France in Round 1 back at UFC 269. Before that, he suffered losses at bantamweight to Rob Font and Pedro Munhoz.
It’s unclear if Garbrandt is done competing at flyweight or if his return to bantamweight is for the short term.
Garbrandt earned the UFC bantamweight title by defeating Dominick Cruz at UFC 207. He would go on to lose back-to-back title fights to TJ Dillashaw at UFC 217 and UFC 227.
Yahya has won his last two fights in the Octagon, including most recently against Kyung Ho Kang last November. He also earned wins over Luke Sanders and Ray Rodriguez.
Garbrandt had been expected to potentially compete for the UFC flyweight title before his flyweight debut loss. He has fought at bantamweight for the majority of his career.
The July 9 UFC Fight Night event includes a women’s flyweight matchup between Cynthia Calvillo and Nina Nunes, and the return of The Ultimate Fighter: 29 finalist Tresean Gore against Josh Fremd. The card will be headlined by Rafael dos Anjos taking on fellow lightweight “Rafael,” Rafael Fiziev.

Veteran Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu maestro, Rani Yahya is officially the most prolific finisher in the history of the UFC and WEC bantamweight division — joining Nate Diaz in the all-time submission list with a stunning eleven submission stoppages. Slicing through Ray Rodriguez, the division mainstay grabbed a second round arm-triangle.
Notching his twenty-first submission win from his twenty-six professional victories, the American Top Team trainee threatened with a submission in the opening stanza, before forcing a sprawl from Rodriguez in the second after a takedown attempt at the fence. Working his way to half guard, Yahya eventually worked toward an arm-triangle, wrapping another submission success, this time on the Texan striker.
Below, check out the highlights from Yahya’s stoppage victory over Rodriguez.
Things that are certain in life. Death, taxes and Rani Yahya winning by submission!
