Johns said this mmajunkie.usatoday.com about his upcoming fight against Garbrandt, “I’m expecting Cody Garbrandt with something to prove. He has a little bit of a legacy to leave. I hear he’s on the last fight of his UFC contract. I know that he’s had his ups and downs and stuff. He’s dealt with a lot of critique from fans in the MMA world. I don’t really listen to too much of that. People always say he has no chin. I’ve seen fights that he’s been in after he’s gotten knocked out where he did take a lot of punches and his chin did last. I just feel like he knows this is his last fight on his UFC contract. He’s going to come with everything he has. That’s what I hope. I want to beat the best Cody Garbrandt. … I’m expecting the best Cody, and I plan to put the best Cody to sleep. I know he’s going to crack back. I’m expecting for him to crack back. But I think if I get him up against the wall and I start putting some heat on him, he’s not going to like that. I want to make it an exciting fight. I want to make it a fight that the fans have fun watching and that they enjoy. We’ll see what happens. I know he’s also a little bit emotional. If he’s waiting a little bit and I tell him, ‘Come on, man. What are we waiting on? Let’s get this thing popping,’ I think he’ll oblige. But we’ll see.”

UFC Picks
Is Garbrandt really going to go out with a loss? It could happen, as he sure hasn’t had many wins recently, but is Johns any good? He has a bunch of no-name wins that don’t impress me. One thing that should happen is that Garbrandt comes out hard and fast and puts it all on the line. I think that means we get a finish one way or the other. The rounds are listed at 2.5 and we can get plus money on the under and that is the way I’ll go in this fight.
