ESPN’s Ariel Helwani was extremely impressed with Garbrandt’s return and effective movement in the cage.
Cody Garbrandt scores an absolutely vicious KO at the last second of the second round. Right hook. Incredible.
First win for him since Dec. 2016 when he won the belt. Looked great. Mark Henry boxing.

Veteran Reporter Brett Okamoto had questioned ‘No Love’s’ durability going into the fight. It seems as though Garbrandt has been able to make the necessary corrections and gain commendable results.

Chamatkar Sandhu was gushing over Bantamweight’s crisp Knockout, much like everyone else on Twitter.
Cody Garbrandt is still that dude. A measured performance right up until he threw a dynamite right hand right before the end of the second round. That’s as clean as it gets. Take a bow! #UFC250
