‘Long Live the Coward’- Cody Garbrandt Advices Henry Cejudo to Stay Retired

Cody Garbrandt is one of the most talented fighters in the bantamweight division. The former champion proved what he was made of on his run to the title. 

‘No Love’ achieved his ultimate dream in the sport when he beat Dominick Cruz at UFC 207. The manner in which he beat Cruz is something that was never seen before. Fans and pundits alike were excited about the young talent after his performance against Cruz. 

Unfortunately, since winning the title, it has not been smooth sailing for Garbrandt. Multiple injuries have meant that the former champion has not fought frequently. Furthermore, after three KO losses, the former champion has had a lot to overcome.

Cody Garbrandt shares a message to fellow dominance MMA athlete Henry Cejudo 

‘No Love’ recently shared a picture on Instagram with the caption, “The worlds most eligible bachelor @henry_cejudo a self-proclaimed King that retired as a coward before his time was up. Stay retired for your own good savages are on the rise in both divisions. Long live the Coward”

Cejudo retired earlier this year after a win over Dominick Cruz. He walked away as a two-division champion. However, ever since his retirement, ‘Triple C’ has always mentioned that he would come back if the price was right. Moreover, a chance to become a three-division champion would definitely entice him back to the sport. 

‘No Love’ was scheduled to fight Figueiredo last month. However, an injury forced him out of the card. Cody has fought just once each year from 2017 to 2020. In his fight against Assuncao, he showed what he is capable of when fully fit and focused.  

If he were to win another fight in dominant fashion, it might tempt ‘Triple C’ to get back in the octagon to face him. Unfortunately, it seems like a long shot at this point in time.
