Yahoo Sports Former UFC champ Cody Garbrandt expected to return vs. Miles Johns
“No Love” is back.
Former bantamweight champion Cody Gabrandt and Miles Johns have verbally agreed to fight at a UFC Fight Night event Oct. 12 at a location and venue to be announced.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the matchup but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Eurosport NL first reported the bout.
Garbrandt (14-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) entered UFC 300 in April on a two-fight winning streak comprised of victories over Trevin Jones and Brian Kelleher. However, UFC 300 was Deiveson Figueiredo’s night, as he submitted Garbrandt in Round 2.
Johns (15-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is 3-0 with one no contest in four fights with victories over Vince Morales, Cody Gibson, and Douglas Silva de Andrade. The no contest was initially a win over Dan Argueta. However, the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) overturned the result after a Johns drug test was flagged for M3 metabolite of DHMCT. The NAC increased the M3 metabolite threshold between the flagged test and the sanctions.
With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for Oct. 12 includes:
Grant Dawson vs. Rafa Garcia
Cody Garbrandt vs. Miles Johns
