Cody Garbrandt as confident as can be ahead of main event slot

Tomorrow night in Las Vegas, Team Alpha Male product Cody ‘No Love’ Garbrandt will face undefeated bantamweight Thomas Almeida in a highly anticipated bantamweight showdown.

Ahead of the fight, Garbrandt is as confident as can be, likely given his training regimen as well as his undefeated 8-0 record, with all his wins coming by KO/TKO.

He spoke to the Las Vegas Sun to discuss the bout:

“A lot of people seem to forget that I asked for this fight,” Garbrandt said. “I asked for (John) Lineker, I asked for Almeida and then I’m asking for a title shot.”

“I like the street-fight mentality,” Garbrandt said. “Kill or be killed and that’s what I’m there to do. I like to engage in the emotions and the adrenaline.”

“Once I hit him once it’s going to turn into a brawl I know it,” Garbrandt said. “And that’s what I’m waiting for because I’m a better brawler than him, I’m a better fighter than him and I’m a better martial artist than him.”

Almeida is currently 21-0 in his professional MMA career, going 4-0 in the UFC so far, with 3 of those wins coming by KO. In addition, he sits at #8 on the UFC’s bantamweight ladder. Given that, a win for both men could mean a #1 contender fight against the winner of TJ Dillashaw vs. Raphael Assuncao at UFC 200.
