Last December, in the co-main event of UFC 207, Team Alpha Male’s Cody Garbrandt swiped the bantamweight belt from the waist of Dominick Cruz with a dominant, unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n

Though he briefly offered Cruz a rematch<\/a>, Garbrandt’s first title defense will instead pair him against former training partner and one-time bantamweight king TJ Dillashaw<\/a>. The two are likely to meet sometime this summer \u2013 perhaps during International Fight Week in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

in advance of their currently unscheduled title fight, Garbrandt and Dillashaw have been engaging in a memorable war of words. Given that they served as the coaches of the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, there’s bound to be much more of that to come.<\/p>\n

The latest volley in this ongoing verbal battle comes from Garbrandt, who took to Twitter late on Wednesday night to offer up a prediction on the outcome of his fight with Dillashaw. The champ’s prediction? A first-round finish.<\/p>\n

See Garbrandt’s promise of a first-round win below:<\/p>\n

After assuring that he’d snuff Dillashaw inside a round, Garbrandt engaged with some of his fans, doubling-down on the content of his original Tweet.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cody_Nolove\/status\/849864179188088832<\/p>\n

This last Tweet is in reference to an infamous incident during which Garbrandt allegedly knocked Dillashaw out in training<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garbrandt will enter his title defense against Dillashaw with a flawless, 11-0 record. Prior to his defeat of Cruz, he scored Octagon wins over Marcus Brimage, Henry Briones, Augusto Mendes, Thomas Almeida and Takeya Mizugaki. Only Briones survived to the final bell.<\/p>\n

Dillashaw, meanwhile, has rebounded from his razor-thin, January 2016 title loss to Dominick Cruz with dominant decision defeats of Raphael Assuncao and John Lineker. He’s 14-3 overall.<\/p>\n

Do you think Cody Garbrandt can make good on this promise and take TJ Dillashaw out inside a round? Sound off in the comments section, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n
