Forgive Cody Garbrandt for not wanting to engage in a firefight with Trevin Jones. All the former UFC bantamweight champion was looking for was a win.
Patience was the name of the game for Garbrandt (13-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) on Saturday night at 285 as he took a smart approach to earn a unanimous decision win over Jones (13-10 MMA, 1-4 UFC), who performed as though the moment was too big for him. All three judges scored the fight 29-28 in favor of Garbrandt.
The bantamweight bout closed out the UFC 285 preliminary card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
