He'll get a rematch when he can block JCVD's head kicks.
I never said they were good examples, just examples that disprove Dillashaw's absolute statement. I also never argued for Garbrandt to receive a rematch (note: I said after a couple of wins this year). However, Dillashaw can hardly argue that Rivera doesn't deserve a title shot, and there's an argument for Cruz to receive a title shot; Rivera and Cruz deserve a title shot more than Dillashaw deserves one against DJ, that much is clear.You keep talking about Belfort vs Couture II and Holloway vs Aldo II as examples when they're not good ones. Garbrandt didn't lose to a doctor's stoppage, he got fucking finished. IF Dillashaw was slated to face someone else and that person gets injured and in steps Garbrandt, fine. But to have a Dillashaw vs Garbrandt II straight off the bat, it doesn't make sense. Either Dillashaw vs Cruz II or Dillashaw vs Johnson.
You didnt watch the fight. He embarrased TJ in the first round.. he dominated the first round. Yes, the first round wasn't even close. He got caught in the second, it happens. Happened to Aldo, GSP, DC, Cain, etc.. and yet they all are still considered legends. Being finished in a fighting sport, is a reality of it for 99% of the fighters calling it career. The others you mention are not getting title shots just yet because they aren't the draw that Cody is, plus Rivera ducks fights the UFC offers, Moraes is building his name and Assuncao hasnt really looked that great recently, etc.. If Cruz was healthy, he would be getting a push too, but he's not healthy just yet. Nobody talks about Conor getting a rematch vs Nate, begging for it and in doing so promising Nate an immediate rematch for a third fight if Conor won the second.He got knocked out! It wasn't a close decision, he lost brutally! Why do people like Rivera, Assuncao, Moraes etc just get skipped over?
just to reiterate, TS didn't ask about a comparison. he asked a simple question.You keep talking about Belfort vs Couture II and Holloway vs Aldo II as examples when they're not good ones. Garbrandt didn't lose to a doctor's stoppage, he got fucking finished.
It was a doctor's stoppage due to a cut. Garbrandt got KTFOed. Completely fucking different. I can't believe you're comparing these two.
Not true.. Max vs Aldo 2, yes Aldo was a fill in. But.. it still fits the question asked.Dillashaw recently said this about Cody. Is this true? I keep trying to think of a champion but none comes to mind.
Would you want to see this rematch with Garbrandt? I honestly would rather see this than Dilly vs MM.
Their striking is comparable, it could have easily gone the other way imo. You don't think Cody deserves a rematch? He got caught, but that was an even and entertaining fight prior to.He got knocked out! It wasn't a close decision, he lost brutally! Why do people like Rivera, Assuncao, Moraes etc just get skipped over?
Didn't you start a thread trying to hype this....TJ vs Cody 2 is bullshit. They needs to build the rivalry, make TJ vs MM and Cody vs Lineker.
He shouldn't have even lost the belt to begin with.A champion on a 0 defence streak shouldn't be calling out the record holder either, especially one from a lower weight class.
Cody getting a instant rematch would be ridiculous. He didn't even really earn his first shot at the belt and only won the title by decision. Make him work, he's an exciting fighter. Give him some fun matchups and build the hype for TJ/Cody 2.
Why don’t they try to make it TJ versus Cruz? Cruz is supposed to be back soon and he has a win over TJ.
A champion on a 0 defence streak shouldn't be calling out the record holder either, especially one from a lower weight class.
