Cody Garbrandt kommer under helgen att ta sig an Thomas Almeida, och det har redan börjat hetta till mellan de båda kämparna. Garbrandt har nämligen hamnat i bråk med Almeidas hörna, och så här skrev Cody via sin twitter:
Your team is only making it worst for you trying to start shit in the hotel I’ll smack everyone of you Chute Bitch!!

Diego Lima har dock sin version av händelsen, och hade följande att säga via ”MMAJunkie”:
Actually, Cody has been making comments on Thomas’ personal Instagram account for a month, trying – unsuccessfully – to destabilize him. In one of the pictures, he made a comment that he would beat him and ‘Sertanejo’ (Arantes) together. ‘Sertanejo’ responded and they argued via Instagram.
This morning, he ran into ‘Sertanejo’ in the hotel lobby. ‘Sertanejo’ was by himself, going for lunch. Cody was giving him the stink eye. Felipe stopped and stared back. They started arguing and were soon interrupted by other people.
Garbrandt och Almeida möts under ”UFC: Fight Night 88”, som äger rum den 29 maj i Las Vegas.
