Jimmie Rivera: I sparred TJ Dillashaw; he has no power (with sparring video)

For months now UFC bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt has been threatening to release a video which shows him knocking out former champion (and former teammate) TJ Dillashaw in a sparring session--a video which may or may not actually exist. With Garbrandt and Dillashaw coaching opposite one another on season 25 of The Ultimate Fighter, the rivalry between the first and second men to win a UFC title for Sacramento's Team Alpha Male is just heating up. If it does exist, now would be the perfect time for Garbrandt to leak the (admittedly ethically ambiguous) footage.

In the meantime, however, there definitely is a video of someone sparring TJ Dillashaw, and it isn't Cody Garbrandt, or even a member of his ex-team at all.
