Former UFC champ Cody Garbrandt champ will make his final bantamweight stop against Raphael Assuncao in June.
After their originally scheduled matchup fell apart at the canceled UFC Columbus in March, Garbrandt (11-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) and Assuncao (27-7 MMA, 11-3 UFC) will run it back on an unnamed UFC card on June 6. The location is still unknown.

When Garbrandt steps into the cage, it will be more than a year since his previous outing. After losing back-to-back fights against rival and former teammate T.J. Dillashaw, Garbrandt took on Pedro Munhoz at UFC 235 in March.
