Champ Cody Garbrandt says he's fighting T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 217 at Madison Square Garden

After one of the biggest fights of the summer between UFC bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt and former champ T.J. Dillashaw fell apart due to injury, the grudge match apparently is back on for the fall.

Garbrandt (11-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) today announced he will put his title on the line against Dillashaw (14-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) at UFC 217, which is scheduled for Nov. 4 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass (via Twitter):

UFC officials have not formally announced the contest.

Garbrandt and Dillashaw have a tenuous history after being teammates for several years at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, Calif. Dillashaw unceremoniously left the gym to train with striking coach Duane Ludwig in Colorado, and the disdain with former teammates such as Garbrandt and Urijah Faber has grown thicker ever since.

The feud grew deeper when the pair served as opposing coaches on Season 25 of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series. Dillashaw handled Garbrandt in the coaching partner, seeing a greater number of his fighters advance through the tournament with Jesse Taylor ultimately winning the tournament crown.

Garbrandt was forced to withdraw from their planned UFC 213 bout in July due to a back injury that required treatment. He’s been rehabbing since and is apparently ready to go for UFC 217.

With the addition of the 135-pound title fight, the latest UFC 217 lineup now includes.

• Champ Michael Bisping vs. Georges St-Pierre – for middleweight title
• Champ Cody Garbrandt vs. T.J. Dillashaw – for bantamweight title
• Paulo Borrachinha vs. Johny Hendricks
