Things haven’t been so chipper for Cody Garbrandt lately. The Team Alpha Male bantamweight came up short in his quest to regain the UFC bantamweight title when he fell to T.J. Dillashaw again in the first round of the UFC 227 headliner last weekend. And to add injury to insult, he may be out for up to six months after potentially breaking his hand in the bout.
The California State Athletic Commission released the medical suspensions coming out of UFC 227, and Garbrandt was handed a 180-day term until he’s cleared due to the hand injury. Somewhat surprisingly, only one other fighter - Brett Johns - was handed a long suspension due to injury, and his is actually indefinite.
