The MMA Vivisection – UFC 227: Dillashaw vs. Garbrandt 2 picks, odds, & analysis

It’s not a ‘stacked’ card by any estimation, but UFC 227 has at least two must see fights and promises a lot of action. TJ Dillashaw rematches Cody Garbrandt for the bantamweight title in the main event, and Demetrious Johnson rematches Henry Cejudo in the co-main. And even if they’re bouts we’ve seen before, they should be great showcases of the highest levels of MMA skill.
