Are We Going to Witness Cody Garbrandt’s Resurrection on November 9?

Cody Garbrandt is 14-6 overall with 11 wins by KO/TKO and three by decision. He’s not a very good grappler, and he always looks to fight standing up.

He wants to keep his opponents at a distance, which is smart given his bad experience against prolific grapplers like Deiveson Figueiredo who beat him by submission last April.

“No Love” is famous for his explosive striking, but the fact is that his accuracy has declined lately. The evidence of this is that he’s been landing just 40% of his strikes. We know he can do better, and we’re certain that he’s determined to prove himself on November 9.

It’s not just about prestige, but also about his UFC future. He needs to win this fight as his contract is running out soon. If he loses again, Dana White & Co. might decide to let him go.

Miles Johns Seen as Favorite in Saturday’s Fight

Miles Johns is 15-2 overall with one no-contest, which came as a result of him testing positive for a banned substance (turinabol). It wasn’t the first time that he tested positive for a banned substance. The same happened in 2022 when he tested positive for Adderall.

It seems that controversies are behind him, though. He’s fought two fights this year already, winning both of them. First, he defeated Cody Gibson by unanimous decision; then, he did the same to Douglas Silva de Andrade.

In both of those fights, we saw “Chapo” grinding his way to victory, preventing his opponents from hitting him too often. In fact, he got hit just 52 times in those fights, each of which lasted for 15 minutes.

Cody Garbrandt vs. Miles Johns Prediction

We’re pretty certain that this fight is going to last for three rounds. Garbrandt is a powerful striker, but he doesn’t land too many strikes. Meanwhile, Johns is great at evading strikes, so we really doubt Garbrandt can hurt him enough to finish the fight.

Instead, we predict that Cody Garbrandt vs. Miles Johns will go the distance, after which “Chapo” will win over the judges.

Pick: Miles Johns
