“For me, I’m feeling gratitude. I'm very grateful to be on UFC 300. Being announced first works in my favor. I wake up early, I train early. In the afternoon we fought, we opened the event. This also shows the power of attraction that I have to put people in their seats from the first horn,” said Garbrandt in an interview with MMA Junkie.

As he continued speaking, Cody stated that he understood Dana White's strategy for the big event.
“For me, that says a lot. I'm excited about what the UFC is doing. I understand what Dana (White) and the bosses, Hunter (Campbell), want to do: have people in that place from start to finish. I can guarantee that I will go out and give the best performance of my life. For me, (fighting first) eliminates the guessing game. Being able to prepare (for a set time). I’m excited to open (the card)”, he concluded.
