Make it two in a row for TJ Dillashaw. The UFC bantamweight champion successfully defended his belt for the second time against Cody Garbrandt via first-round TKO in the main event of UFC 227 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The bout played out much like the first matchup between the two, with No Love landing early hooks that appeared to wobble Dillashaw. Both men came out swinging.
However, the gamble of biting down on the mouthpiece and trading hooks didn't work out for Garbrandt. Similar to the first fight, Dillashaw swung the momentum in his favor with a hook and went to work getting the finish from there.
