The UFC recently revealed that bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt would be defending his UFC bantamweight title<\/a> this summer against TJ Dillashaw in a highly anticipated grudge match following ‘TUF Redemption’.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this week, it was revealed that Dillashaw’s plane ticket to the UFC Summer Kickoff event was cancelled, since Garbrandt was flying to Germany to receive treatment for a tear in his back. TJ Dillashaw was quick to take to social media<\/a> to taunt Garbrandt for potentially pulling out of the fight. Which of course brought more attention to the situation. <\/p>\n

\"TJ<\/p>\n

When UFC President Dana White was asked about the situation, he expressed total confidence in Garbrandt, but had a pretty intriguing backup plan if Cody Garbrandt was ultimately unable to fight:<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it\u2019s not off,\u201d White said in a subsequent media scrum. \u201cCody Garbrandt is having back issues, and we sent him to a place for (stem cell treatment), and apparently, that didn\u2019t work. So we\u2019re putting him on a plane and sending him to that place in Germany that I go to.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this doesn\u2019t work, he\u2019ll be the only athlete I\u2019ve ever known of that it didn\u2019t work. It worked for for Kobe Bryant. It works for (Alex Rodriguez) and soccer players (throughout the world). I mean, every athlete I\u2019ve ever know that\u2019s gone there has come out healed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCody\u2019s not confident because when you\u2019re in the type of pain he\u2019s in, you don\u2019t believe you can be fixed that easily,\u201d White said. \u201cBut I know the credentials of these guys in Germany, and I\u2019m 100 percent confident he will be better and he will fight on July 8.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he can\u2019t fight,\u201d White said with a sly smile, \u201cT.J. Dillashaw called me this morning and said, \u2018If Cody can\u2019t fight, what I would love to do is stop Demetrious Johnson from breaking the record.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, that\u2019s fun, right?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
