Meanwhile, Cody Garbrandt beat Cruz at UFC 207 to become the men's 135-pound division champ. He dropped the championship to T.J. Dillashaw almost a year later at UFC 217 and lost the rematch as well.
Garbrandt has now moved to the flyweight division and it is unclear who he will face next. He was earlier scheduled to face then titleholder Deiveson Figueiredo last year, but pulled out of the bout after testing positive for COVID-19.
