TJ Dillashaw vs. Cody Garbrandt delivered in a big way to cap off a thrilling night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif. on Saturday night for UFC 227. The rematch between the heated rivals and former teammates lasted just over four minutes but was packed full of action from beginning to end.
When it was all said and done, it was the UFC bantamweight Dillashaw who was able to retain his title after clipping Garbrandt with a heavy shot that left him rocked before piling on a vicious flurry of strikes against the cage that forced referee Herb Dean to step in and save the day.
The fight-ending sequence was started by a mistake from Garbrandt similar to the rivals’ first bout when he carelessly came rushing in after rocking Dillashaw early. Dillashaw capitalized and the rest was history.
