Mini bio
How it started.
Cody grew up in Uhrichsville, Ohio, and says he began boxing at 15 to find direction and stay away from street fights. He worked in construction and taught MMA before fighting professionally. His pro career began in 2012, and his UFC debut came against Marcus Brimage in January 2015.
The breakthrough.
In December 2016, Cody beat Dominick Cruz over five rounds to win the UFC bantamweight championship at UFC 207. He was unbeaten at 11-0. After the decision, he put the belt around the waist of his friend Maddux Maple, a young cancer survivor who had helped inspire his journey.
A story beyond fighting.
His 2018 memoir The Pact, written with Mark Dagostino, tells the story of their friendship and shared promise: Cody would become a UFC champion, and Maddux would beat cancer. Cody also coached on The Ultimate Fighter: Redemption opposite TJ Dillashaw in 2017.
What fans can follow now.
Alongside his fights and interviews, Cody brings fans into his motorcycle world through No Love Cycles. His 2026 YouTube vlogs follow the crew at Sturgis and inside Saddlemen’s racing headquarters.
