Over the weekend, in the co-main event of the wickedly stacked UFC 217<\/a>, arch rivals Cody Garbrandt and TJ Dillashaw finally stepped into the cage together for an anticipated bantamweight title fight. Despite a strong opening round from Garbrandt, Dillashaw ultimately sealed the deal in the second, putting his foe down with a blistering salvo, and capturing the UFC bantamweight title in the process.<\/p>\n

In the wake of this fight, Garbrandt quickly began campaigning for an immediate rematch.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am the better fighter out there and he was able to capitalize on a low left hand and a right hook,\u201d Garbrandt said at the UFC 217 post-fight presser. \u201cHats off to TJ He battled back from losing his title and he was a hungry man, but I\u2019m still the better fighter in there and I\u2019ll show that in the rematch.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHe caught me tonight,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe caught me with a punch. I truly am the better fighter. It was me vs. me in there, I\u2019m battling with myself. To throw more punches, to counter, to see all these openings, and I just didn\u2019t pull the trigger. It\u2019s always me vs. me. The only person that beat me is me and I didn\u2019t throw my hands, I didn\u2019t do what I was supposed to do and know how to do in there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Dillashaw, however, Garbrandt doesn’t deserve this honor. Dillashaw, after all, wasn’t given an immediate rematch when he surrendered the title to Dominick Cruz in January of 2016, and that fight was much closer.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI just finished him in the second round. He doesn\u2019t deserve a rematch,\u201d Dillashaw said at the post-fight press conference (h\/t MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cHe\u2019s very new in this sport, he needs to work his way back up. I should\u2019ve gotten a rematch after that [Dominick] Cruz fight, a very close split decision that I thought I won, and I did not get it. It took me a year-and-a-half \u2014 well actually, almost two years \u2014 to get it. So yeah, I think he\u2019s going to definitely [need to] build himself back up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
