Scheduled to face Figueiredo
Garbrandt will fight Deiveson Figueiredo in a bantamweight event on March 30, UFC president Dana White announced Friday.
ANALYSIS
Garbrandt is coming off a win over Brian Kelleher on Dec. 16, but facing someone like Figueredo represents a new challenge for him. After all, the Brazilian is a former flyweight champion who's taking his first steps in a new, more competitive class, and will be eager to show he belongs in 135 pounds. Garbrandt has gone 14-5-0 in his pro career, including a 9-5 mark at the UFC level.

Easily handles Brian Kelleher
Garbrandt defeated Brian Kelleher via KO (punch) at 3:42 of Round 1 at UFC 296 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This looked like an extremely attractive fight for Garbrandt from a stylistic standpoint, and it played out that way inside the Octagon. He ate a few too many damaging low kicks from Kelleher, but Cody's massive power and speed edge resulted in an easy knockout victory. Now 32 years of age, Garbrandt's offensive skills look as sharp as ever. The concern now, and moving forward, will be if his durability will hold up. It wasn't an issue against Kelleher, but it's going to be talked about every single time he steps into the Octagon against a bit better opponent.
