UFC 227: 4 Reasons Why T. J. Dillashaw Will Beat Cody Garbrandt

#3 Garbrandt is shaken

UFC 217: Garbrandt v Dillashaw — Garbrandt will have to gain back his composure if he is to pick up the win against Dillashaw

Garbrandt had an immaculate 11-0 record over his Mixed Martial Arts career until he was finally taken down by T. J. Dilashaw in UFC 217. In fight sports, momentum can be everything. Having lost the streak he had going, Garbrandt will have to gain back his composure if he is to pick up the win against Dillashaw.

Unfortunately, it does not appear he is willing to do that. From the moment after he lost his bout, he has been after a rematch with Dilashaw, saying that Garbrandt was still the better fighter. While confidence is well and good, overconfidence has been the downfall of many and man.

If Garbrandt has underestimated Dilashaw and has not prepared mentally for the fight as well as he should have, then all the bluster will amount to nothing.

With Garbrandt obviously shaken, Dilashaw is bound to win.
