TJ Dillashaw is still the UFC Bantamweight Champion.
Dillashaw took on hated rival Cody Garbrant in the main event of UFC 227.

Dillashaw threw a punch and kick combo. He then threw a one-two, but Cody got out of the way.
TJ landed a body kick and Cody went for a spinning back fist, but missed entirely.
Cody caught a kick from the champion and landed some punches, but TJ countered with a punch of his own and dropped Cody. From there, he held his opponent’s back and punched him repeatedly.

A mouse formed under Dillashaw’s eye, but Cody wobbled on his feet from the punches.
TJ wasn’t about to let Cody recover, though. He landed a punch that put Garbrandt back down, then swarmed at him with punches.
Cody worked his way back up to his feet, but Dillashaw landed knees and a flurry of punches, leaving referee Herb Dean no choice but to stop the fight and declare TJ Dillashaw as the champion.
