Former friend and arch-nemesis Cody Garbrandt shared his thoughts on Twitter after the epic conclusion to one of the most exciting fights in the bantamweight division in the form of Cory Sandhagen vs TJ Dillashaw.
Legit thought Cory did way more damage the take downs didn’t do shit with them and controlling him against the cage wasn’t a deciding factor, Cory looked cleaner and did more damage. Feel for Cory that was his fight. https://t.co/kSgh1VsrDq
