Cody Garbrandt thinks there was a robbery in the UFC on ESPN 27 main event.
T.J. Dillashaw returned from a two-year U.S. Anti-Doping Agency suspension to edge out rising star Cory Sandhagen.
“Legit thought Cory did way more damage the take downs didn’t do sh*t with them and controlling him against the cage wasn’t a deciding factor, Cory looked cleaner and did more damage. Feel for Cory that was his fight”, Garbrandt said.
Though Sandhagen busted up the former champ with an array of diverse strikes using effective leg kicks and controlling the grappling exchanges.
In a razor-close decision, two of the judges decided that Dillashaw, who had to battle through an injured knee and a nasty cut, had more control of the fight.
Garbrandt (12-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC), who has a long-standing history with his former Team Alpha Male stablemate, called for a trilogy bout with Dillashaw.
Though Dillashaw knocked Garbrandt out in both of their championship fights, “No Love” is adamant that Dillashaw was using performance-enhancing drugs for a long portion of his career.
