Cody Garbrandt Has Plans to Be a Dual Champion

Cody Garbrandt appeared on the MMA Hour this week for a new interview. Highlights are below:

On wanting to face the winner of the potential TJ Dillashaw vs. Demetrious Johnson fight: “If you’re gonna go down to 125, OK, that’s fine. TJ, if you get beat, I will never fight you. I’m gonna go down and fight Demetrious at 25. You lost that chance. TJ, you go in there and beat DJ, I’m gonna jump down to 25 and steal your belt. That’s what I told Dana [White].”

On how he thinks the fight will go: “I feel like DJ will beat TJ. TJ is slow. TJ is very slow. I feel like, I went with him [in training]. I know that guy like the back of my hand. I feel like DJ will win that fight.”

On potentially fighting Dillashaw: “I’m gonna finish him and then I want to go and fight Demetrious. That’s my legacy that I’m creating. TJ is a generic version of everything. He’s a generic version of Dominick Cruz. I wanted to fight Demetrious and now he wants to fight Demetrious.”

On his plan to be a double champion: “I’m gonna go down and fight Demetrious. That’s my goal. I’ve spoken to Demetrious numerous times. That’s my goal after the TJ fight. TJ, first and foremost, but I’m wanting to go down and fight Demetrious right after that. They all know that I’m the money fight, and I’m the big fight at the lower weight classes.”
