Two former teammates will meet in the Octagon for the UFC bantamweight championship title at UFC 217 on November 4<\/a>. Champion Cody Garbrandt will look to defend his title against former teammate<\/a> and former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw. <\/p>\n

As the two have had a long history training with each other at Team Alpha Male, Garbrandt started his professional MMA career when Dillashaw was on his way to winning the UFC title. With being able to train against the top fighter in the UFC bantamweight division, Garbrandt said he knew it was only a matter of time before he would be holding the belt.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cI\u2019m supremely confident against TJ. He\u2019s actually given me the most confidence I\u2019ve had in my career to really push forward and give it all I had,\u201d Garbrandt recently told MMA Weekly<\/a>. \u201cWhen he was world champion, I was 1-0 and working my way up. I was training with him [thinking] this guy\u2019s the world champion? I know I\u2019m going to be a world champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe gave me the supreme confidence to know that if I just stick to the course that I\u2019m at, training and being a good person, that I\u2019m going to make it happen and here I am, 26 years old now, world champion.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the talk has gone back and forth with both Garbrandt<\/a> and Dillashaw<\/a> saying they edged the other out during their training sessions, “No Love” says that he has already felt what it was like to go against Dillashaw’s all.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cI don\u2019t feel TJ\u2019s any more of a threat. I know him, I\u2019ve trained with him, I\u2019ve beat him up in practice,\u201d Garbrandt said. \u201cI know that\u2019s practice, but with a guy like TJ, he doesn\u2019t like to lose an inch, a round, a submission, anything. So I know it was full-on fighting. So I\u2019m supremely confident going in there Nov. 4.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garbrandt also went on to claim that TJ doesn’t have a good chin. “No Love” stated that Dillashaw couldn’t take a punch from him wearing 16-ounce boxing gloves so if they end up going the distance, TJ should consider that a win for himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly think where I [said I would hit] [Takeya] Mizugaki with the first hard punch, he\u2019ll go out. The first hard punch I land on TJ, he\u2019ll go to sleep. He\u2019ll go to sleep and I\u2019ll rain down punches on him.\u201d<\/p>\n
