Things have gotten quite complicated for Cody Garrabrant after suffering another knockout loss at UFC 269 in December. There are many questioning his career and what could be next for him.
Cody Garbrandt's uncle recently did an interview with talkSport where he talked about training him since he was a child. He has some big concerns should things not go his way in his next UFC fight.
“If Cody gets knocked out again, I am pretty sure his career is over, but Cody can come back, George Foreman hit a bump in his career and came back and he had more fun and made more money and won the heavyweight title.”
“So, Cody can come back, but he needs to learn fight defense, let your defense set up your offense. He’s been stopped four times, but then look at the Rob Font fight he went all rounds with Rob. In terms of weight cutting, has he done damage to his body?”
Cody Garbrandt's uncle was concerned about his nephew dropping down to 125 ahead of UFC 269. Weight cutting can cause big damage to the body.
“I can only speak about what I know,” he continued. “I was preparing for a fight, and I had to cut extra weight at the last minute due to the opponent. So, I had to get down to a certain weight. Then the night of the fight I thought I was going to die. I cut so much weight it felt like Mike Tyson hit me. So, you’re really not going to know until the night of the fight how it feels to get hit at that weight, the real weight was 125 pounds but you’re not really doing any sparring at 125.”
