For the first time in more than two-and-a-half years, Cody Garbrandt will step into the cage in a three-round, non-title fight as he enters the Octagon this weekend to face Pedro Munhoz in the opening bout of the UFC 235 pay-per-view main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.
It is both a sharp departure from the headlining assignments and championship tilts that had become the norm for “No Love” over his previous three appearances, but also a welcome opportunity to return to action and attempt to get back into the win column after suffering consecutive losses to former teammate turned rival TJ Dillashaw.
