Cody Garbrandt is set to make his first UFC bantamweight title defense against T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 217 in November, promotion officials announced Wednesday night.
Garbrandt (11-0) won the championship with a surprising unanimous-decision victory over Dominick Cruz at UFC 207 last December. The 26-year-old made his debut in the Octagon in January 2015 and holds a UFC record of 6-0 with four stoppages.
Dillashaw (14-3), a former 135-pound champion, lost the title in early 2016 to Cruz by decision. He has since rebounded with two straight victories over Raphael Assuncao and John Lineker.
