Cody Garbrandt didn’t want the smoke.
Originally, bantamweight standout Miles Johns was set to square off with ‘No Love’ in October — the same night Brandon Royval and Tatsuro Taira tore the house down in Las Vegas. According to Johns, the bout was eventually moved back to November 9 due to some sort of potential issue with Garbrandt. Of course, November came and went with no sign of Johns or Garbrant stepping inside the Octagon.
During a recent interview with Fanatics View, Johns offered some insight into the back-to-back cancelations that eventually led him to move on and fight someone else altogether.
