Cody Garbrandt posts video alleging KO of T.J. Dillashaw, who responds

Bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt and challenger T.J. Dillashaw went at each other verbally at today’s UFC 217 press conference, with both fighters lobbing salvos regarding their past history together at Team Alpha Male.

Among the topics to come up was an instance Garbrandt said he knocked out Dillashaw during practice. Here’s how that exchange went down:

“There’s truth to it, just like I knocked him out and have a video of it,” Garbrandt said. “How many times did I (expletive) you up in practice?”

“Zero, mother(expletive),” Dillashaw shot back. “We’re going to find out.”

“Saturday, you’re going to find out, mother(expletive), how baddass I am,” Garbrandt interrupted.

When you claim to have video of something, you kind of have to follow through and share it, and that’s what Garbrandt did afterward on his Instagram. Check it out:

This guy is a liar he said I never koed him, that there is no video! Also that he has never took PEDs and he never cheap shotted a former teammate stealing his dream from under him! Fuck you @tjdillashaw hey @danawhite get that Knockout Bonus Check, I'm ready to collect it!! #ISpeakFacts

So, what do we see? A knockout? Or a knockdown?

Dillashaw responded via text message to MMAjunkie’s Steven Marrocco.

“Yeah, tell him to keep playing the video,” Dillashaw said. “I get up and start going again. There was no KO like he’s been stating.”

It’s certainly a hard overhand right, but it does also look like Dillashaw starts to get back up before the video cuts off.

Either way, can’t wait to see what happens Saturday night at Madison Square Garden when Garbrandt (11-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) and Dillashaw (14-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) finally square off in the UFC 217 pay-per-view co-headliner.
