Former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt makes a long-awaited return to the Octagon Saturday to fight Rob Font in the main event of UFC Vegas 27 from the UFC's APEX Facility.
Garbrandt has been sidelined for nearly a year. In that time, No Love has dealt with a torn bicep as well as complications from COVID-19. While he was slated to fight Deiveson Figueiredo for the flyweight title during that time, he will remain at 135 pounds for now.
He'll be welcomed back into the cage by Rob Font, winner of his last three fights, including a first-round TKO of Marlon Moraes in December.
