Cody Garbrandt wants to turn his career around with a win over Trevin Jones at UFC 285.
The former UFC bantamweight champion believes that he still has enough strength and energy to return "to the top." After losing a first-round TKO to Kai Cara-France at UFC 269, Garbrandt admitted to going through a divorce from his wife, a move from California to Las Vegas, and a series of fight cancellations that saw him out for a year.
These changes have been difficult, but there is hope that they will prove necessary for Garbrandt, who approaches the upcoming fight in the best possible physical and mental shape: "This is the best thing I have felt in recent years. My life is wonderful. I am excited. show off your skills on Saturday."
