There was a lot of trash talk and bad blood between T.J. Dillashaw and Cody Garbrandt in the lead-up to their back-to-back championship fights at UFC 217 and UFC 227.
Much of the antagonizing came from Cody Garbrandt, who took deep offense to Dillashaw leaving Team Alpha Male (TAM) and joining Duane Ludwig at Elevation Fight Team in Colorado.
Although Dillashaw scored back-to-back KO wins over ‘No Love’, the reigning UFC bantamweight champion still has some animosity towards his ex-teammate.
Speaking to MMA Junkie in a recent interview, Dillashaw took delight in the sentiment that he ‘ruined’ Garbrandt’s career at UFC 227.
