One of Garbrandt&#8217;s latest barbs, however, appears to have been a misfire.<\/p>\n<p>The bantamweight champion and his team recently attempted to insult Dillashaw by suggesting he is more athlete than fighter. Unfortunately for them, however, Dillashaw takes this as a compliment. The upcoming bantamweight title challenger explained his feeling on Garbrandt&#8217;s recent comments on Monday&#8217;s edition of The MMA Hour.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bZTxZkv725E\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I find that hilarious because it&#8217;s actually more of a compliment, I&#8217;d rather be an athlete than a fighter,&#8221; Dillashaw told host Ariel Helwani (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2017\/10\/23\/16527714\/ufc-217-tj-dillashaw-cody-garbrandt-isnt-smart-enough-to-be-more-athlete-than-fighter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAMania<\/a>). &#8220;An athlete&#8217;s going to go out there and figure out ways to win, see the holes in the game.

I&#8217;m going to go out there as an athlete just as he said, and pick him apart using that.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While Dillashaw admits that Garbrandt is athletic, he feels he is definitely more of a fighter than an athlete.
