Garbrandt Withdraws From UFC Vegas 100 Bout
Cody Garbrandt withdrew from his scheduled bantamweight bout with Miles Johns because of an injury before UFC Fight Night 247, held November 9, 2024, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Johns was also removed from the card after the matchup fell through. The event went ahead without them, headlined by Carlos Prates vs. Neil Magny.
The scheduled bout was canceled
UFC officials told MMA Fighting that Garbrandt was forced out by injury; efforts to find a replacement opponent for Johns were unsuccessful. This followed an earlier postponement of the matchup, which had been expected at UFC Vegas 98. The withdrawal report was accurate, but the preview’s “upcoming event” framing is now historical.

Gillian Robertson defeated Luana Pinheiro by unanimous decision, and Da’Mon Blackshear submitted Cody Stamann in the first round. UFC’s event record lists the official results.
