UFC 227 might not have delivered the numbers or have looked strong on paper, but the card sure performed. All the action took place last Saturday, August 4th from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Two title fight rematches topped off the pay-per-view portion, seeing UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw finish former champion Cody Garbrandt for the second time in the night’s main event. Dillashaw had captured the belt back in November of 2017 over Garbrandt, beginning his second career reign as the 135-pound king.
The co-main event became one to never forget, seeing Henry Cejudo edged out a split decision title victory over long-time UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson.
