Related Topics: UFC, Cody Garbrandt, Dominick Cruz

UFC 292 has suffered another pull out with the event set to take place later this week. This time it is a former bantamweight champion who has been removed from the card. Fans should not worry too much though, the bout between Aljamain Sterling and Sean O’Malley will still be going ahead.

The champion who is no longer appearing is none other than Cody Garbrandt. Garbrandt won the belt over Dominick Cruz in one of the most impressive title performances in the history of the UFC. Ultimately he would lose the belt in his first defence to TJ Dillashaw and that would be the start of a downward skid of his career.
