Since Cody Garbrandt’s third consecutive knockout loss to #5 ranked bantamweight Pedro Munhoz, a lot has been made of the Team Alpha Male fighter and his tendency to brawl his way out of trouble (often to no avail). This has been of interest to me, because while Cody Garbrandt certainly has issues with swinging wild, these haven’t been the only times he’s found himself on the wrong end of a beating.
In this piece, I will be examining just how deep the problems in Cody Garbrandt’s game go. In my opinion, Cody Garbrandt is no different a technical fighter now than he was when he defeated Dominick Cruz to win the bantamweight title.
