Though it lasted less than two rounds, Cody Garbrandt vs TJ Dillashaw I is already considered one of the most exciting bouts in bantamweight history. Likewise, Demetrious Johnson’s destruction of Henry Cejudo is widely regarded as his finest hour–or rather, his finest two minutes and 49 seconds. In the main and co-main events of UFC 227, both matchups will play out for the second time.
This week on Heavy Hands, Connor and Phil are here with the in-depth technical preview, as well as a look back at some of the results of last weekend’s UFC Calgary. Topics include:
- How good is Cody Garbrandt, really? Can he adapt to a rematch the way we expect TJ to do?
- Can Henry Cejudo make his improved striking work against Demetrious Johnson, or will it be death by clinch all over again?
- From UFC Calgary: the changing style of Dustin Poirier, and the adjustments he made to secure the finish this time around
- How “back” is Jose Aldo, and how much do we really care, because that s— was incredible
- Seriously. Bravo, Jose. You rock, man
