#4 Cody Garbrandt suffering from injuries; requires surgery
Ever since he lost his fight to TJ Dillashaw a couple of years back, Garbrandt has not had the best luck in his MMA career.
In fact, when he entered his fight against TJ Dillashaw in November of 2017, Cody Garbrandt was the Champion. He was one of the better fighters on the roster. However, during that fight, he was knocked out in a matter of moments.

The second time he fought, was around a year ago, against TJ Dillashaw in a rematch for the Championship. Unfortunately, even the August 2018 fight was not going to end up working. Cody Garbrandt lost again, this time even faster than his last loss -- after he was knocked out in the first round.
A loss to Pedro Munhoz in early March this year compounded his issues in the UFC.
Given that Garbrandt was suffering from a hand injury for quite a while since March, meant that his problems were not ending. Finally, he announced that his hand had healed, and he was cleared to return to the Octagon.
Unfortunately, it is not to be. He is going under the knife as he preps for surgery due to a newly torn tendon. This means that Garbrandt will be out of action for the rest of the year and will only be returning in 2020.
