On November 4, in the co-main event of the stacked UFC 217, UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt will attempt to defend his title against his most heated rival in TJ Dillashaw. If Garbrandt successfully defends his title, the expectation is that he’ll then turn his attention to the next contender on the docket \u2013 perhaps the winner of Jimmie Rivera and Dominic Cruz’s UFC 219 scrap.<\/a><\/p>\n

Apparently, however, Garbrandt’s team is still eying a drop to flyweight for a battle with dominant UFC flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson. Garbrandt’s head coach Justin Buchholz<\/a> shared the plan on\u00a0Five Rounds podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor sure, [Cody] can do it right now,” he said (h\/t Jed Meshew of MMAFighting.com<\/a>). He\u2019s real big and strong right now and he\u2019s getting bigger so he\u2019s gotta do it right now if he does go down. For sure, [Demetrious Johnson] is a fight that we would love to have but we\u2019ll just see about getting his body down to 125 [pounds].\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m confident that can happen,” he continued. “That\u2019s nothing. I\u2019ve seen a lot harder things than that. Cody can make that weight and keep his power and put the weight back on and go back to \u201835 at this point in his career, while he\u2019s young. We know the dangers of switching weight classes and whatnot with\u00a0Roy Jones\u00a0Jr. and you can see the stuff with\u00a0B.J. Penn<\/a>. We know what we\u2019re doing here. Everything\u2019s a science now. You\u2019ve got to be on top of your game so you can get the correct people and set the right systems in place. We can do it old school so that\u2019s why I\u2019m confident with all the new school stuff it\u2019d be even easier.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How do you think Cody Garbrandt would do against Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson?<\/p>\n
