In a battle of bitter rivals, Cody Garbrandt and T.J. Dillashaw are set to rematch in August, as part of the UFC 227 pay-per-view event.
And though we are still several months out from seeing of Garbrandt can get his vengeance, the war of words is already kicking up.
Dillashaw vs. Garbrandt is one of the most intense and heated rivalries in the UFC today.
Having once been teammates, Dillashaw leaving Team Alpha Male had a chain reaction, putting him right on the opposite side of TAM’s #1 bantamweight, in Ohio’s Cody Garbrandt.
These two hate each other, and they know each other well, making their war of words all the more personal.
In the latest round of their bitter twitter exchange, Cody fired accusations of PED use, claiming Dillashaw is using E.P.O. to help him ready for fight night.
E.P.O. is a substance that increases a fighter’s cardio and is nearly impossible for USADA to detect, though it’s highly illegal to use.
Here’s the latest:
