Very very bad for Kelleher, remember him telling Helwani this was the last fight on his contract and UFC didn't make a offer yet.

Cody calling out Figgy is a bit weird. Figgy just beat Font and Cody is not even ranked anymore. So that's not a realistic callout

You might be onto something, that was one of the falls where it looked more like pain than losing consciousness.

Makes me happy to see Cody get a KO... But I'm not sure a Figi callout is wise for the chinless wonder.

Let's Go! The Chin is still here! Cody took a big uppercut at the same moment he hurt Kelleher with the overhand. Kelleher is really durable and Garbrandt shows flashback of his 2016 Form with the KO win.

Garbrandt still has the movement and the KO Power, but I think he still one outside the ranked fighters to re-gain his momentum.

I am going to immediately take back my prayer mma gods. Let cody get chinned by figgy. 

A power puncher for a callout ? With your chin ? What is cody thinking ?
