Cody Garbrandt recently made it clear that he doesn't intend to overstay his welcome in the sport. Garbrandt even disclosed that he has experienced doubt as he's gotten older and the importance of realizing when the right time is to walk away.
The former UFC bantamweight champion has been an exciting fighter to watch throughout his career and a competitor that generates interest at 135 pounds. But, it appears as though he will hang up the gloves once he feels he can't perform at his best.
During his appearance on Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson's JAXXON PODCAST, 'No Love' brought up that he doesn't want to join the list of MMA legends that competed well past their prime and tarnish his legacy.
Garbrandt highlighted how tough MMA is and mentioned that he has to overcome mental hurdles prior to his fights:
"I want to be able to walk away from fighting, not stay and see a lot of the greats that went out...Man, it's tough...I walk down to the octagon every time like, 'What the fu*k am I doing this sh*t for?' You know what I mean? I'm in the back warming up. I'm like, 'Damn,' they come back, 'Hey, five minutes, you're walking'...I'm trying to think of all kinds of excuses, man... Sh*t hurts, man, fighting hurts."

Cody Garbrandt opens up about challenges of moving to another state
In addition to discussing the longevity he expects to have in his career, Cody Garbrandt opened up about the challenges of moving to another state.
During the aforementioned appearance, Garbrandt noted that he moved from Sacramento, California, where he trains and represented Team Alpha Male and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. With that in mind, Garbrandt mentioned that he needed to find the right environment to train as well as adjust to how the gym operates:
"When I moved to Vegas, it was hard for me cause I knew what was gonna be. I'd find new coaches, new teammates. Everybody in Vegas, they train at 3 pm, it's a pro practice. Super hard before the pro practice cause you're trying to save yourself, push hard and then do something after...I'm pushing myself in this practice not just showing up and clocking in and clocking out. I gotta put myself all in there."
