The co-main event of the card, finally, will see bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt and challenger TJ Dillashaw settle a long-standing beef, while the card will also feature a third title fight as strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk attempts to defend her strap against Rose Namajunas.<\/p>\n<p>Other features of the card include a welterweight scrap between top contenders <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighter\/jorge-masvidal\/\">Jorge Masvidal<\/a> and Stephen &#8220;Wonderboy&#8221; Thompson, a middleweight scrap between former welterweight champ Johny Hendricks and Paulo Borrachinha, a lightweight bout between Joe Duffy and James Vick, a welterweight bout between Mickey Gall and Randy Brown, and a light heavyweight bout between Corey Anderson and Ovince Saint Preux.<\/p>\n<p>Today, all of the fighters scheduled for non-title bouts partook in a traditional pre-fight media day. Part of the day&#8217;s schedule were some awesome, pre-fight staredowns, which included some pretty interesting moments, from a handshake-denial from undercard light heavyweight Ion Cutelaba, to a mid-staredown phone call to Randy Brown, to a throat-slash from Jorge Masvidal.
