UFC 300: Boxer Terence Crawford Helps Train Former UFC Champion For Fight Night

The fighter will face another former champion at UFC 300.

One former UFC bantamweight champion put some work in with one of boxing’s pound-for-pound best, Terence Crawford, ahead of his fight at UFC 300.

Cody Garbrandt is more than six years removed from his brief reign as the UFC’s bantamweight champion, but he’s coming off a first-round knockout against Brian Kelleher that gave the 32-year-old back-to-back wins for the first time since T.J. Dillashaw took both his belt and his unbeaten record at UFC 217.

“No Love” is now scheduled to face former flyweight titleholder Deiveson Figueiredo in a matchup between ex-champions at UFC 300, and Garbrandt recently posted a photo of himself and unbeaten boxing champion Terence Crawford at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas.

“Bud” only stepped into the ring once last year, but he put on one of the most dominant performances of his career when he handed Errol Spence Jr. his first loss and became boxing’s undisputed welterweight champion in the process.

Already known for his crisp striking and knockout power, any work that Garbrandt put in with Crawford will certainly help “No Love” prepare to face another heavy-handed fighter in Las Vegas at UFC 300.

Figueiredo earned a unanimous decision over Rob Font last December in his bantamweight debut following an epic four-fight series with Brandon Moreno, and “Deus da Guerra” will try to move closer towards a bantamweight title shot when he squares off with Garbrandt on April 13.
