From the moment T.J. Dillashaw knocked out Cody Garbrandt last November, a rematch was a certainty. The fight was simply too well matched, too competitive, too fun to only feature a single installment. The grudge between the two lit the wick, but the fight lived up to all of the expectations with some gasoline explosions in the cage. It was part-brawl, part-technical showcase, it featured knockdowns from both, it featured numerous momentum swings. There was real drama. If fight is theater, these are two legitimate leading men sparring for the spotlight in UFC 227’s main event.
