It would appear that rising UFC bantamweight Jimmie Rivera has gotten under the skin of the newly crowned champion over social media.
Former UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt decided to release footage of himself sparring with T.J. Dillashaw, in which Garbrandt can be seen putting down the now reigning champion.
Now Jimmie Rivera has offered a video of himself throwing down with Dillashaw. While Rivera doesn’t drop the fighter, it would appear that Rivera still got a reaction from the champion.
Rivera is undefeated inside the octagon. With five victories under the UFC banner, Rivera is riding a stunning 20 fight winning streak in his mixed martial arts career. Most recently, the fighter earned a unanimous decision victory over Thomas Almeida at UFC on FOX 25.
Now the fighter has challenged Dillashaw to toss his from his long standing winning streak in their recent Twitter war. Check out the heated exchange below:
