Cody Garbrandt sees a future at flyweight but is not about to leave bantamweight behind.
A year after announcing his move to the division, Garbrandt made his flyweight debut against Kai Kara-France at UFC 269 earlier this month. The result was not what the former UFC bantamweight champion had hoped for, as he suffered a first-round technical knockout loss to France. For many fans and pundits, the loss was in some part attributed to his decision to drop down in weight, but Garbrandt has rejected that notion.
During an appearance on his Rollin’ with the Homies podcast, Garbrandt said even though his preparation for the fight went well, France was simply better that night.
