Anyone looking to fight the former champion, coming off his title fight loss to T.J. Dillashaw could be asking for trouble.
Garbrandt is without a doubt the toughest fight in the UFC’s bantamweight division. However, coming off a loss, it’s bound to spell problems for anyone standing opposite him.
It is believed that Garbrandt was not healthy leading into his UFC 217 fight against Dillashaw, something the former champion recently said he’s addressed.
You can't fight Fate!!
