It was a rough night for
Cody
Garbrandt at UFC 300.
Not only did the former bantamweight champion suffer a second-round
submission defeat to
Deiveson
Figueiredo, but he also experienced vertigo during the bout,
which was the first prelim on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las
Vegas.
“I felt great in my fight until I started to experience vertigo,”
Garbrandt wrote 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.”
