News Cody Garbrandt vs Kai Kara-France Flyweight bout set for UFC event, Dec. 11th

[Whitestallion]

Great fight, the first few responses in this thread show how far the MMA community has fallen

 

[SpedDaddyV]

could maybe be a good move for Cody

he is a really small bantamweight

It will really depend on how his speed carries over

hes only 30 right now, so he should have a few more years left in him if he cleans up some of his holes

Ducking TJ

You don't actually believe that there's 2-3 pounds of ink inside Cody's body, do you?

Do you believe the earth is round?

 

[CBohl]

At what point do you wonder how much of that ink is holding Colby back in making weight? Thats like 2-3 lbs of ink right there that could be avoided by not having neck tats like a loser. The silver lining is that he at least didn't get face tats................yet.

This is definitely the strangest theory 'Ive ever seen on Sherdog.

 

[El Fernas]

MMA guys dropping down divisions the wrong way as always, he should had started at 125lbs and then move to 135lbs not the opposite, he is now 30, a bunch of loses at BW and thinks it will be better at FLW? Those dudes are just as big as him and they are used to cut to 125lbs, he might get a win here, but he wont make it too far.

Do you believe the earth is round?

No, because ackchyually, it is a sphere.
Yes, i also watch Richard and Mortimer and am highly intelligent.

Garbrandt weighed less than most of the Flyweights, let alone all of Bantamweight, he should've been at Flyweight from the start.

 

[ChumpyKiwi]

Never thought Kara France was fantastic. Cody is the far better fighter everywhere imo Kara France is tough and we don't know how powerful Cody is at 125. If Cody looks similar to his 135 self I expect him to win, by KO probably

 

[Martialbeef]

Kkf is meh but game.

Garbrandt weighed less than most of the Flyweights, let alone all of Bantamweight, he should've been at Flyweight from the start.

Good list but TJ weighed in at 149 at bantamweight and he clearly looked more like a concentration camp victim in the cage at FLW.

Cejudo is also listed at 141 by the CSAC numbers. He might have weighed 146 once.

I don’t believe Dodson weighed that some guys just like to BS.

 

[Goldentrophy]

Ali goofed that up Cody should be fighting Figgy

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Banger, but I'm getting serious flyweight Dillashaw vibes here. Cody's chin is a bit iffy anyway, it'll be depleted more by the weight cut. Kara-France, TKO.

Cody is smaller than Dillashaw. Should work better for him.

I wish him success

 

[Harlekin]

Awesome striking battle with a high chance of a KO.
Cody is so light at 135, she should be able to make 125.
Needs a better gas tank though. He hates road work :/

 

[CC27]

thats a good fight to get his feet wet, atleast he's not getting instant title shot off loss.

Prove you can make weight and win and then you go from there.

 

[Deleted member 512089]

Really good fight, but if the cut to FLW depletes Garbrandt as much as I think it will, Kara-France should easily take this. Should be entertaining though

He barely cuts to make BW so he should be fine

 

[Tweak896]

I remember looking at fighter weights on fight night, and Cody was the only fighter who was the weight of a class below him, like 140 or something. He should've done this sooner.

 

[Poatan Power]

Cody really doing himself an injustice here he could have fought higher ranked contenders, or Benavidez for his flyweight debut. France isnt a noteworthy win in the division be a disaster if cody loses be the munhoz fight all over again.

Cody needs to focus on just getting a W. 1-4 in his last 5. He's destined to go to Bellator and fight Emmanuel Sanchez

 

[HockeyBjj]

Questionable chin and now down a hard 10 pounds

didn’t work out for TJ, don’t think it’ll work for Cody

 

[M.U.S.C.L.E.]

This fight is best watched at home.
Even with binoculars, you will have difficulty spotting these two in the ring if you go to watch in person.
