CODY GARBRANDT -155
TJ has looked good in has last two fights, but i have to go with the fighter with the better skill set and who i think has the heart of a champion. I'm going to make the assumption that Garbrandts back is 100% healed. TJ keep making accusation and I think Galbrandt is a fight who can just turn on the hate in the ring like a machine, TJ is just throwing fule on the fire.
Galbrandt beat Dominick Cruz who in my opinion is the best fighter in the weight class and "no love" ran him over like a freight train. I lost alot of respect for T.J. Dillashaw when he didn't fight might mouse. He should have tested his skills vs the man I rank as the best MMA fighter in the world, jon jones could have taken that spot but I think the chances of seeing jones reach full potential are over. (Jon Jones Vs Brock lesner fuck USADA) and Conner has not defended his belts enough to be the best and embarrassed MMA for that big boxing paycheck.
Since Dillashaw is off the juice, he does not have the KO power he once had. His TKO Renan Barao was cause Barao gased. He TKO Viana, but that was a mismatch. Galbrandt power is under rated and if he connects clean ... TJ is done fight over. The other 2 advantages I give Garbrandts is experience.. he just has alot more rounds then TJ and fight IQ... Duane Ludwig is going to come up with at least 3 fight plans for TJ, but Cody can make adjustments faster and has was way faster hand speed and can hit from better angles, that is not in TJs bag of Trix.
