“Time to See Cody Get KOed Again”- Fans React to the ‘Gunfight’ Marking Former UFC Champion Cody Garbrandt’s Return at UFC 285

Former UFC champion, Cody Garbrandt has seen both the highs and lows of combat sports, from claiming the UFC gold undefeated against Dominick Cruz at UFC 207 to losing 5 of his 6 Octagon fights. Notably, ‘No Love’ never looked the same after his first title defense loss to T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 217. While he tried every solution, even fighting in the flyweight division for once, nothing worked out for the Ohio-born fighter. However, the iron-willed fighter will once again enter the Octagon at UFC 285 against Julio Arce in March 2023.

The confirmation of the return of the bantamweight fighter sent MMA fans into a state of frenzy. Therefore, the announcement of the March 4 fight evoked amusing reactions from the fans.

How did the fans react to the return of Cody Garbrandt?

The underdog in the upcoming fight, Julio Arce, posted the confirmation on his Instagram handle with the details of the Las Vegas fight.

While some fans pointed out the miserable week record of the 31-year-old, others remained hopeful of an exciting fight.

One user remained excited and stated, “🔥 Let’s go champ!! It’s your time 🙌🏽😤”

A fan expressed his relentlessness and thus they commented, “So electric can’t wait🔥”

Another user favored Arce for the matchup. Hence, they said, “Easy money on julio 💎”

A comment declared the bout as ‘Gunfight’.

However, the Twitter user brutally trolled the 12-5 record holder.

One user asserted, “rip to cody’s chin.. again”

Another reply anticipated another TKO loss for Garbrandt.

An MMA fan badly wanted the Xtreme Couture team representative. Hence, he said, “The for the love God cody win this fight I can’t see you get slept again😞”

Cody Garbrandt’s recent UFC record

Garbrandt is currently on a 2-loss streak and last fought at UFC 269 against Kai Kara-France in Dec 2021. Notably, this fight marked his flyweight debut, which didn’t turn out as expected by either fans or the fighter himself.

His dismissal loss streak with his first title defense continued with another loss against T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 227. Another loss against Pedro Munhoz followed at UFC 235. The only win he garnered came against Raphael Assunção at UFC 250.

Worriedly, 4 of his 5 losses came via a knockout. Therefore, the fighter will enter the T-Mobile Arena next year with the target to return to winning ways.
