what a great card, cody and bisping.
Oh cool. I didn't realize this is gonna be featuring Coach Zahabi and Tristar. Thanks for pointing that out.
I'm honestly more intrigued with Garbrandt vs Dillashaw than the main event. Dillashaw's style is almost a carbon copy of Cruz's but with the KO power. And this is a grudge match between the two since they have some history, with Dillashaw being the 'snake' for leaving Team Alpha Male and with Garbrandt being the Faber loyalist.
Let's see how the champ nullify's the challenger.

I don't have many notes for this event.
-Aiemann Zahabi is actually Firas Zahabi's brother. In case people don't know who Firas Zahabi is, he's known for working with GSP, Rory MacDonald and many other UFC fighters out of tristar gym in canada.
-GSP, Joseph Duffy, Mickey Gall and Aiemann Zahabi are all fighting out of tristar MMA gym for this event.
-Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Jorge Masvidal and Alexey Oleynik are fighting out of american top team. ATT and tristar have the most fighters represented on this card afaik.
-Many will likely count Mickey Gall out since he's only 4-0 but don't underestimate him, he's trained seriously with people fighting in the UFC since he was a teenager.
-Cody Garbrandt clarified on the MMA hour saying he didn't knock TJ Dillashaw out cold in training(as was suggested earlier), he only rocked him.
-Alexey Olenik looked much improved after spending time at american top team before his last fight with Travis Browne.
Not a lot of info to offer on this event, I think most already know who the people fighting on the card are.
