Cody Garbrandt

Cody Garbrandt, fighting out of an Orthodox stance at bantamweight, holds a 15-7 professional record with a recent run of 4-4 over his last eight fights. The 5'8" striker lands 2.79 strikes per minute with 40% accuracy while absorbing 3.66 strikes per minute and defending 58% of incoming strikes, reflecting a volume-based approach that relies on output over precision.

Garbrandt's takedown metrics—0.85 attempts per 15 minutes at 22% accuracy and 81% defense—indicate minimal grappling integration. His submission average of 0.0 per 15 minutes confirms he operates primarily as a striker without submission threat.

Recent performances show inconsistency: he secured knockout victories over Thomas Almeida (May 2016, round 1) and Raphael Assuncao (June 2020, round 2), but suffered notable losses to TJ Dillashaw via knockout in round 2 (November 2017), Pedro Munhoz via first-round knockout (March 2019), and Rob Font via unanimous decision (May 2021). Most recently, Garbrandt dropped a unanimous decision to Raoni Barcelos in June 2025 after posting a unanimous decision win against Xiao Long in March 2026.

His career trajectory reflects a fighter capable of finishing opponents but vulnerable to sustained striking exchanges and tactical adjustments from top-tier competition.
