Cody Garbrandt says he was dealing with a case of vertigo during his fight with former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 300.
Kicking off the landmark night of fights, ‘No Love’ returned to the Octagon a winner in back-to-back bouts. Standing in the way of a third-straight win was Figueiredo, who was making just his second appearance at 135 pounds. In the early going, Garbrandt looked fluid on his feet, but once he went to the mat, Figueiredo promptly took over and submitted the former bantamweight titleholder with a rear-naked choke in the second round.
