Cody Garbrandt out of UFC Vegas 100
by Alexander K. Lee · MMA FIGHTINGCody Garbrandt and Miles Johns should hope the third time is a charm if they’re ever going to fight.
UFC officials confirmed to MMA Fighting that Garbrandt has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bantamweight bout against Johns due to injury, which was to take place at UFC Vegas 100 this Saturday. The news was first reported by BJPENN.com.
Despite efforts to find a new opponent, Johns is no longer competing on the card and he is expected to be rebooked for a later date.
It is the second time Garbrandt and Johns have been booked to fight and seen their date fall through. The two were expected to fight at UFC Vegas 98 this past October, but the bout was moved to Nov. 9 for undisclosed reasons.
Garbrandt competed once in 2024, losing to Deiveson Figueiredo via submission at UFC 300 this past April. For Johns, he looks to keep a win streak going after defeating his past three opponents (excluding one no-contest).
