UFC 285 Update: Cody Garbrandt to Face Julio Arce in Las Vegas on March 4

A bantamweight clash pitting Cody Garbrandt against Julio Arce has been booked for UFC 285.

Eurosport was first to report the pairing. UFC 285 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 4 and includes a women’s flyweight showdown between Amanda Ribas and Viviane Araujo as well as a middleight tilt between Bo Nickal and Jamie Pickett. A headliner for the card has not been confirmed.

Garbandt has struggled since 2017, losing five of his last six UFC appearances — a slump that began when he relinquished the 135-pound belt to T.
