Garbrandt comes inside now and begins landing some heavy shots but Dillashaw is able to shake him off. A left hook lands for Garbrandt and he follows it up with a short uppercut inside the pocket. Some more accurate strikes land for the champ inside the pocket and Dillashaw tries to clinch up but fails. A nice kick to the body lands for Dillashaw and he follows up with a nice combination. The round comes to an end with a big knockdown for Garbrandt after landing a flush right hand.

Round 2:

Garbrandt is taunting Dillashaw after dodging a high-kick. A hick-kic from Dillashaw tosses Garbrandt back put the champ pops right back up. Some nice hooks land for Garbrandt but Dillashaw eats them nicely. Dillashaw lands a huge combo that drops Garbrandt and he pounces on for the ground-and-pound. The referee has seen enough as “No Love” goes stiff. We have a new bantamweight champion.
