At last week’s UFC 227, T.J. Dillashaw successfully defended his bantamweight title by knocking out rival Cody Garbrandt in the opening round, an improvement from when Dillashaw took the title away from Garbrandt by rallying from an opening round knockdown to knock him out in round two.
There are several possibilities as far as which opponent will be next for Dillashaw. Dominick Cruz is the last man to defeat him and a former champion himself, Raphael Assuncao is 1-1 vs. Dillashaw, and Marlon Moraes is on a three-fight winning streak since his own close loss to Assuncao.
Another option is newly crowned flyweight champion Henry Cejudo.
