The rivalry between bantamweight stars T.J. Dillashaw and Cody Garbrandt was renewed on Saturday when reports surfaced that the two were being considered as a replacement main event for UFC 222 on March 3. Featherweight champion Max Holloway was originally scheduled for a title defense against Frankie Edgar, but an injury will force him to withdraw from the scheduled headliner.
According to MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani, Dillashaw’s camp would like to see Garbrandt earn another shot at the title after Dillashaw won it from Garbrandt with a second-round KO at UFC 217 last November.
