[Official] UFC 227: Dillashaw vs Garbrandt 2 - Press Conference & Post-Fight Discussion Thread

I'm a big fan of DJ for exactly what he does. I paid for the fight in part b/c DJ was on it. Even though he lost the decision his fight performance was amazing to watch--movement, scrambles, escapes, and his integration of all aspects of the game. Cejudo outwrestled him but think of how well DJ fared against an Olympic gold medalist in the grappling exchanges. Seeing the great class and character with which DJ handled this loss, I respect him even more as an example of excellence in martial arts. No excuses. He will come back better and assert himself thru great deeds not bluster. I am no less a fan and will tune in to his future performances, whether or not he wears the belt.
