Yesterday afternoon, a long-rumored bantamweight title bout between champion Dominick Cruz and challenger Cody Garbrandt was made official<\/a>. This hotly-anticipated showdown will serve as the main event of UFC 207<\/a>, which will occur on December 30 in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

Garbrandt, of course, was not the only choice for the next crack at Cruz’s title. It could easily be argued that former champ TJ Dillashaw, Jimmie Rivera, Bryan Caraway or John Lineker<\/a> deserved the shot instead.<\/p>\n

In the end, however, the UFC went with Garbrandt, not just on the basis of his perfect record and fan-friendly fighting style, but because he’s spent the last few months locked in a war of words with the champion<\/a>, which has resulted in a fairly compelling grudge match.<\/p>\n

\"Dominick<\/a><\/p>\n

Though Garbrandt has now been given the title shot he’s been campaigning so hard for, it doesn’t appear that he’s ready to put this war of words to bed. Late Monday evening, the bantamweight title challenger took to Twitter to launch more trash talk in Cruz’s direction. This time around, Garbrandt\u00a0called Cruz a “little b*tch” for failing to tag him in a previous post.<\/p>\n

You can see Cruz’s original post, and Garbrandt’s response to it below.<\/p>\n
