UFC 227 - Dillashaw vs Garbrandt 2 - Saturday August 4th 11.15PM - BT Sports

Subcomandante Marcos

Official Event Link.

TJ and Cody run it back and DJ is out to prove once again that he's the p4p best fighter on the planet.

Really looking forward to this card.

Note on the times listed, the UFC website is saying the main card starts at 10PM, Eastern which is 3am in Ireland, but the BT sports website has the listing as 3am for the prelims and 5am for the main card. I'm sure it's just a mistake on the BT site.

A much poorer card than last weekends Fight Night card, IMO.

The main event is an intriguing cracker, and I always enjoy watching Mighty Mouse, but other than that it’s very meh for a PPV.

One to set the alarm for I’m thinking.

I actually agree with this. I just love watching both Cody and TJ fighting and think this will be a contender for FOTY and DJ putting on a masterclass is always a joy to behold.

Just watched the ufc countdown for this on youtube and i am buzzing for the main event now.

No Love seems much more focused and calmer this time around than before so should be a cracker.

I know people use "short camp", "training injury" etc as excuses all the time, but he legitimately had next to no sparring for like 7 months before the last fight and a very short camp where he just worked on conditioning because he was flying all over the place trying to get his back sorted. If he's healthy in this fight I think he drops TJ again and TJ might not get saved by the bell this time.

I have Cody by KO here. I think he just got carried away last time after the near KO at the end of RD 1. I think he takes more care this time, hopefully throws in a robot dance and finishes TJ. I like/hate both guys at different times but they are both class. I really want a Killashaw tee shirt.

Subcomandante Marcos

Mighty Mouse via Submission

If he fights as calmly as he did against Cruz I think he picks TJ apart inside a round or 2 and finishes it nice and early.

Agreed. I think he smashes him within two.

TJ jas a pretty big welt and what looks like a cut under his left eye.
Will be a nice big target for Cody to aim for good and early.

I had a feeling Dillashaw would ramp up the mind games this week in contrast to the last fight really where he was the more quiet and focused one.

Anyone give Cejudo a chance? It's ridiculous how good a fighter he is yet how far away he still was from DJ in the first fight. He's improved massively since then but still can't see him getting close. DJ is just in a league of his own and hopefully after this will go back up to 135 where there are more challenges for him.

JoeyJJ

Grabrandt via KO/TKO

I really hope Henry pushes him close at least. The division is stagnant beyond belief.

I don't give him much chance but I threw him in a double with Bret Johns just in case. It's MMA at the end of the day. Anything is possible

So many fights on this card at 135lbs and under. Only two above it actually (1 x 145lbs and 1 x 185lbs).

It’s going to be a long night of decisions.

tj v cody

how long do folks thing this fight will go on for?

I'm thinking 2 rounds, 3 at a push

I really can't see this going more than 3?

I fancy tj for the win myself

it does seem a bit too big alright

his losses over the last ten years aldo ortega mendes lamas holloway and frankie x 2


saying that moicano ortega fight was razor thin before ortega got that choke in the third so he probably should be fav although maybe not that short

TJ via decision is what I've backed anyway .

Is this card worth staying up and watching?

Its down to whoever makes the first mistake I think, cant see it going more than 3 rounds either and think someone is gonna get rocked and end up on the ground and the other swarms on them and gets the finish..the problem is it really could be either of them. Hoping and going for Cody myself.

EagererBeaver

I think the main event is an absolute toss up to be honest. Either of them capable of KOing the other.

Any idea of ring walk times for main event ? Around 5 ?

Forgot? It's all I have thought about this past month, haha

I am psyched for this card, for those asking "is it worth watching", my GOD have you ever watched a UFC event you regretted? Even ones that didn't seem great at first glance always turn out worth it imo.

Yes, several. There are many cards I wish I'd just recorded and watched the next day as they weren't waiting up for.

The Hamburg card from a few weeks ago made me want to gouge my eyes out.

There are always absolute stinker events in any sport.

Many many times, I rarely miss a card and there has been many a Sunday where im knackered and thought what a waste of of a day because of staying up till its starting to get bright outside to watch what on paper should have been a decent card and turned out to be a bore.

That was a prime example, fight night cards can go one way or the other but I had hoped a few fights would end up with a good KO in that one and it turned out to be decision after decision of mostly boring fights. Decisions can be great if both fighters are going for it but a lot of those were a snore fest.

Can see Tj vs Cody being very cagey

Picking Cody to win a decision .

Picking DJ by submission .

Oh that was an early show, hardly counts. I am talking the ones we stay up for.

I've never regretted it once, even if (obviously) some events are better than others.

I think a lot of people had a poor perception of TJ due to the whole snake thing, but he came across very well on TUF in comparison to Cody and subsequently changed many people’s opinions.

Yes its exactly like that. He talks like he is going back over old tape rather than what is happening now
