Instead, that honor goes to his first win over Renan Barao.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;d have to be my second best win,&#8221; Dillashaw explained on the latest episode of <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/podcasts\/bjpenn-com-radio-ep-57-james-vick-tj-dillashaw-duane-ludwig-matt-brown\/\">BJ Penn Radio<\/a>. &#8220;Nothing will ever replace the time I beat Barao though. The first time, going to that fight as such a big underdog, and surprising everyone, and obviously just winning the belt and changing your life forever, you know, I&#8217;ll never be able to top that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Dillashaw doesn&#8217;t consider this his best win, he was satisfied with the way he fought \u2013 and with his ability to absorb Garbrandt&#8217;s vaunted power punches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was definitely satisfied with execution,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I let caution go a little bit there the last ten seconds of that first round. That first round was very close, and I knew that. And with me being on the losing end of some very close decisions \u2013 I just never wanted to go out that way again \u2013 so those last ten seconds I kinda tried pushing the pace, and I got a little overly aggressive &#8217;cause I wanna make sure to win the round, and you know I came into Cody&#8217;s right hand. You know, I threw a straight right, hands were up and everything. But he just did perfect, man, I mean I took his hardest punch. He split it, he got outside, he threw that overhand right, and it landed on the button, you know. But I took his best shot and kept coming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How do you rank TJ Dillashaw&#8217;s win over Cody Garbrandt?
