UFC Vegas 100 has taken a massive hit ...

Multiple sources have informed MMAmania.com that former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight kingpin, Cody Garbrandt, has been forced to withdraw from UFC Vegas 100’s co-main event this weekend (Sat., Nov. 9, 2024), which will take place inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

BJPenn.com was the first to report the news.

“No Love” was scheduled to face Miles Johns. UFC is currently looking to keep Johns on the historic “Sin City” card.

Garbrandt (14-6) is coming off a second round submission loss to Deiveson Figueiredo back at UFC 300 in April (watch highlights). The dizzying loss snapped his two-fight win streak in which he knocked out Brian Kelleher (see it here) and defeated Trevin Jones.

“No Love” has only won four out of his last 10 fights.

Meanwhile, this is super disappointing news for Johns (15-2, 1 NC), as Garbrandt is by far the most prominent name he would have challenged inside the Octagon. “Chapo” is riding a three-fight win streak with a “No Contest” thrown in because of a failed drug test (details here).

Earlier today (Tues., Nov. 5, 2024), it was reported that Nicolas Dalby is also out of UFC Vegas 100. UFC newcomer, Zach Scroggin, will now face Elizeu Zaleski Dos Santos on the “Prelims” undercard.
