UFC 329: Cody Garbrandt vs. Adrian Yanez (Bantamweight, Prelims)

Cody Garbrandt faces Adrian Yanez in a bantamweight prelim at UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas. Garbrandt, a former champion, enters on a rebound after a unanimous decision win over Xiao Long at UFC 326, where point deductions for low blows factored in; that followed a 2025 decision loss to Raoni Barcelos. Yanez arrives after a March majority draw with Ricky Simon that most observers scored for him, adding to a split-decision loss the prior year. Yanez holds a reach edge and consistent striking volume at age 32, while the 34-year-old Garbrandt relies on power and experience. Both fighters bring recent activity into the bout, with outcomes hinging on whether Garbrandt’s explosiveness overcomes Yanez’s technical output over three rounds.
