UFC 300’s Deiveson Figueiredo gunning for a KO against ‘mentally fragile’ Cody Garbrant: He doesn’t have a good head’

Deiveson Figueiredo plans to exploit Cody Garbrandt’s “mentally fragile” state when the former champs clash at UFC 300.

Garbrandt suffered four brutal knockouts over the span of four years, going 1-5 in the process. According to Figueiredo, that string of devastating losses has left ‘No Love’ a shell of his former self.

“We see he’s mentally fragile,” Figueiredo said of Garbrandt during a recent interview with MMA Fighting. “He doesn’t have a good head. We see he hasn’t come back after having a few losses, right?”
