The Hit List: Undefeated Fighters in the UFC
Cody Garbrandt finds himself in exclusive company as he prepares to challenge Dominick Cruz for the undisputed bantamweight title in the UFC 207 co-main event on Dec. 30 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Only 30 of the 670 fighters the Ultimate Fighting Championship lists on its UFC.com roster are undefeated and have at least one victory inside the Octagon, and Garbrandt is one of them. The 25-year-old Team Alpha Male standout has developed rapidly since arriving in the UFC, as he has improved to 10-0 with five consecutive victories, four of them finishes. Garbrandt’s victims include Marcus Brimgae, Enrique Briones, Augusto Mendes and Thomas Almeida, who was a perfect 21-0 at the time of their encounter. The Uhrichsville, Ohio, native last appeared at UFC 202 on Aug. 20, when he disposed of Takeya Mizugaki with punches in just 48 seconds and cemented his position at the No. 1 contender at 135 pounds.
