Thomas Almeida’s Trainer Predicts KO of Garbrandt, Says ‘Thominhas’ Is No Longer a Prospect

Thomas Almeida and Cody Garbrandt are two of the hottest commodities currently fighting at 135 pounds, and both have proven themselves to be true knockout collectors.

The young bantamweights have a combined total of 23 KOs in their 28 wins -- 16 for Almeida, seven for Garbrandt -- so it stands to reason that the pair’s upcoming meeting could only end one way.

Almeida’s trainer, Chute Boxe Sao Paulo leader Diego Lima, predicts that this Sunday’s clash at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas will not reach the third of five scheduled rounds.
