Trenutni šampion UFC-a i do sada neporaženi bantaš Cody Garbrandt ima jednu borbu pred sobom na UFC217 u New Yorku i tamo će po prvi put da brani svoj pojas protiv bivšeg timskog kolege TJ Dillasawa. Međutim sada se pomalo osvrnuo na Conora McGregora i izjavio je da bi nokautirao McGregora u boks borbi. 

On je u jednom podcast intervju izjavio da ima planove za budućnost a jedan od njih je da se bori sa McGregorom u boks ili MMA meču.

Izjava Codya: 




I think going in a boxing ring with Conor would be great, or in MMA. . . No ill will towards the guy but I actually believe I’m a better boxer. I feel like I’m one of the best boxers in the UFC.

I’ll go in there and knock Conor the f**k out in a boxing ring, just to be honest. There’s no difference, southpaw, orthodox, that guy could come out and fight on his hands for all I give a f**k. I would knock him out, that’s it. I have the best boxing in the game, in the UFC, and I’m ready to showcase it on another level.
