Urijah Faber explains why Cody Garbrandt has kept low profile since UFC 227

The former UFC bantamweight champion vanished from social media for more than a month after his first-round TKO loss to rival T.J. Dillashaw in the main event of UFC 227 in Los Angeles, his second loss to Dillashaw in less than a year.

Garbrandt’s silence led to plenty of online speculation about his state of mind and his future career direction. But his trainer, UFC Hall of Famer and Team Alpha Male founder Urijah Faber, said not to worry.

“Cody is enjoying being a family man right now,” Faber told MMA Fighting in an interview on Monday.
