Cody Garbrandt says he was dealing with vertigo during his UFC 300 fight against Deiveson Figueiredo.
After looking fluid on the feet during the striking exchanges, Garbrandt (14-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) was submitted by Figueiredo (23-3-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) in Round 2 of their bantamweight bout Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Garbrandt explained that things were going well until he started feeling dizzy, something he’s been dealing with for years.
“I felt great in my fight until I started to experience vertigo,” the former UFC bantamweight champion wrote in a message posted on X. “I couldn’t control the spinning once it was to the ground. Hats off to Deiveson and his camp! I ended up going to the hospital where I was still experiencing the vertigo, throwing up until 4 a.m. ,,, I’ll get this corrected. I’ve dealt with vertigo since 2012. Thank you to the fans that came out to support. It wasn’t my night, but I love doing what I do. I’ll be back in there before the year is up.”
Garbrandt had his two-fight winning streak snapped after beating Trevin Jones and knocking out Brian Kelleher. Garbrandt is 3-6 since his spectacular title win over Dominick Cruz in 2016.
