    UFC 207 was punctuated with the arrival of 25-year old Cody Garbrandt, who schooled Dominick Cruz for five rounds in the co-main event to win the bantamweight title. Though it was the first loss that Cruz has suffered in nearly 10 years, the fight was so one-sided that a rematch wasn’t a given. Particularly since former champion T.J. Dillashaw made a statement against John Lineker just a fight prior on the main card, declaring himself ready for the next title shot.
