T.J. Dillashaw returned after over 2 years and fought Cory Sandhagen at UFC Vegas 32 in a highly anticipated fight. While Dillashaw was a former UFC champion, Sandhagen sits at #2 in the UFC bantamweight rankings. Therefore, a victory for either would have meant a title opportunity very soon.
The fight lived up to expectations as Dillashaw and Sandhagen left it all in the octagon for 5 rounds and the decision could have gone either way. However, in the end, Dillashaw won the fight via split decision. Following this victory, people from all around the world have been sharing their views on the same.

While most people congratulated Dillashaw on a successful return to the Octagon, a former rival took to Twitter to challenge him. As soon as the fight finished, Cody ‘No Love’ Garbrandt issued a challenge to Dillashaw. He wrote, “Let’s run it.”
Dillashaw and Garbrandt have faced each other two times before. The pair first met at UFC 217 and Dillashaw won that fight via a 2nd round KO. Their rematch happened at UFC 227 and Dillashaw won again via a 1st round TKO. Therefore, many people believe that there is no need for another fight between Dillashaw and ‘No Love‘ as Dillashaw is already 2-0 up.
Also, given the fact that Dillashaw wants to challenge for the title as soon as possible, a fight between Dillashaw and Garbrandt seems highly unlikely.
