Struggles after fast start Garbrandt lost to Raoni Barcelos via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlanta. Impact It was the type of uneven performance we have become accustomed to from Garbrandt in the latter stages of his career. Displaying one-round cardio, Cody was effective for five minutes before the tide of the bout turned. Garbrandt did a good job of staying upright, stuff 10-of-11 Barcelos takedown attempts, but he didn't appear to have the energy to string together combinations over the course of the final two rounds, constantly getting outworked in all positions. When the final bell rang, it was clear he'd be dropping a decision. Garbrandt is somehow still just 33 years old, but he has just a pair of wins in the past five-plus years, going 2-4 in that span. Time appears to be just about up.
