Garbrandt returned to the bantamweight division and fought against Trevin Jones at UFC 285. Garbrandt came back and proved that he is still strong enough to beat a tough fighter. After the three-round fight, ‘No Love’ emerged victorious via unanimous decision.

Now he is all set to fight against Mario Bautista at UFC 292. The bout is set to take place on August 19, 2023, at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

Even though Garbrandt’s current record stands at thirteen victories and five losses, Sonnen believes that ‘No Love’ has great potential and can be a Hall of Famer.
