The truth is, this card could be Dillashaw vs Mighty Mouse...but well, it's not. Mighty Mouse as a true to his core video gamer wants to rack up X amount of title defenses rather than risk losing by moving up a weight class or having Dillashaw come down and face him.....Mighty Mouse blamed fearing a failed weight cut, but oh wait, that happened when he faced a guy in his weight class, whereas Dillashaw hasn't previously missed weight...but I digress. It's okay Mighty Mouse, much like GSP opting to not move up to face Anderson Silva in his prime at 185, I get it. Mighty Mouse still remembers the day he lost to Dominic Cruz when he ventured plying his trade in a weight class up. Well, this is where we are. I'm tired of the instant rematches for champs when they get violently stopped inside of a round or 2. It just doesn't make sense....and especially not when guys like Cruz and Dillashaw lost the belt by the narrowest of margins, but then had to face murderer's row of top contenders to get another crack. But, again, this is where we are. I'm just incapable of being excited about watching Mighty Mouse face a guy he stopped so effortlessly last time out.
The Garbrandt/Dillashaw fight is dangerous because as we saw last time, both men hurt one another....that being said, I trust in Dillashaw-Ludwig to craft changes in game planning and structuring training camp to best Garbrandt a second time around and to keep him guessing and missing and swinging.
