Felipe Arantes won't forget hotel lobby incident with Cody Garbrandt: 'It's personal'

Brazilian bantamweight, Felipe Arantes, still feels like he has unfinished business with current champion Cody Garbrandt after a scuffle in a hotel lobby back in 2015 when his teammate, Thomas Almeida, was preparing to take on Garbrandt at UFC 198. As Arantes shared with Combate, the dispute felt personal to him and he hopes he can settle it in the Octagon.

"I know he's the current champion, but I want a chance to fight him, for sure. Now it's really personal. I just can't let go of what happened at the hotel.
