LAS VEGAS – Cody Garbrandt is confident there are better days ahead in his fighting career.

Garbrandt enters the bout on the heels of two consecutive defeats and a run of 1-5 in his past six fights. It’s not an ideal circumstance to be fighting Jones (13-9 MMA, 1-3 UFC), but Garbrandt feels he’s made the necessary changes to succeed.
