Cody Garbrandt has to retire from his UFC Vegas 100 fight against Miles Johns

UFC Vegas 100 has suffered a setback as former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt has pulled out of his co-main event fight against Miles Johns.

Multiple sources told BJPENN.com on Tuesday evening that Garbrandt had pulled out of the fight for unknown reasons. According to the sources, Johns hopes to stay on the card and fight a short-notice opponent on Saturday.

Cody Garbrandt (14-6) is coming off a second-round submission loss to Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 300 in April. The loss ended his two-fight win streak as he defeated Brian Kelleher by knockout and Trevin Jones by decision.

The former UFC bantamweight champion is 9-6 in the UFC. Garbrandt won the belt back in 2016 with a decision win over Dominick Cruz. However, he lost the belt in his next fight when he was knocked out by TJ Dillashaw. Garbrandt has notable wins over Thomas Almeida, Raphael Assuncao and Marus Brimage, among others.

Miles Johns (15-2, 1 NC) earned a decision win over Douglas Silva de Andrade. Johns was set for the biggest fight of his career against former champion Cody Garbrandt, but that won't happen again.

Johns is 6-2 and an NC in the UFC. He is currently undefeated in four fights. In his career, Johns has achieved notable victories over Vince Morales and Cody Gibson while also defeating Adrian Yanez on the regional scene. Johns is also the former LFA bantamweight champion.
