T.J. Dillashaw said he was going to finish Cody Garbrandt even more emphatically in the championship rematch, and that’s exactly what he did at UFC 227.
Dillashaw, the two-time bantamweight champion, battered ‘No Love’ from pillar-to-post in the UFC 227 main event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, finishing his former teammate with a barrage of strikes in the first round.
After earning back-to-back knockout wins over Garbrandt, Dillashaw questioned whether his opponent has the chin and durability to compete at the highest level in the UFC.
“I think he has some technical problems that he needs to fix,” Dillashaw said at the post-fight press conference, per MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi.
