Saturday’s main event at UFC 227 in Los Angeles is a rematch for the bantamweight title as T.J. Dillashaw makes his first title defense against the man whom he whupped to earn it, Cody Garbrandt.
Garbrandt is two inches taller than and five years younger than Dillashaw. (Fighters five years younger or more than their opponent are victorious 62 percent of the time since UFC’s inception.)
This fight reflects certain value for the younger, larger, more finitely focused former champion. I expect Garbrandt to quietly and systematically chop Dillashaw down over time and earn back the bantamweight title.
The play: Garbrandt (-105) over Dillashaw (-115).
