Garbrandt has doubled down on his trash talking of Dillashaw, following the recent leaked footage of the champion grabbing Dillashaw by the throat.
The Ultimate Fighter is getting ready to kick off its 25th season, as UFC Bantamweight Champion Cody “No Love” Garbrandt coaches along side former champion T.J. Dillashaw.
The two TUF coaches and bantamweight competitors have been figuratively, now literally, at each other’s throats for some time now. Initially both part of the same gym, the two fighters eventually had a falling out.
Now, the two are coaching on TUF, with a title fight between the two scheduled for after the show airs.
During filming of the show, tension between the two fighters reached a breaking point, as Garbrandt reached out and snared Dillashaw by the throat.
In response to the incident going public, Garbrandt has acknowledged the filming drama via Twitter.
“Nope that’s the proper way to handle a snake!!” Garbrandt said.
