This is a good Cody vs TJ post fight breakdown by BJJ Scout.

I didn't realize Justin Buccholz left Team Alpha Male early in 2018. That marks the 3rd head coach Team Alpha Male has lost in a relatively short span of time. Martin Kampmann, Duane Ludwig and now Justin Buccholz. The excuse Martin Kampmann used for quitting was his family didn't like california and he wanted to move elsewhere. Duane Ludwig leaving the team was highly publicized on the ultimate fighter season of Urijah Faber and Conor coaching and so that split was ugly. Justin Buccholz quitting as head coach seems to have swept under a rug and kept mostly quiet.

There have been hints dropped that Urijah Faber is the reason TAM head coaches have been quitting. And there have been hints dropped that Cody Garbrandt wasn't training properly (maybe because of Urijah Faber) leading up to this rematch.

That's another angle to the fight which could be worth looking at. Especially if Cody Garbrandt's skill level declines noticeably in his future fights.

^  So it's looking more like Dillashaw made the right decision by leaving Faber's team for a better one.  His two victories vindicates him.  I think the second match vindicates him even more cos I wouldn't really be that surprised if Garbrandt wasn't trained well to face Dillashaw.

Garbrandt should switch camps now...

Coach Justin Buchholz says that Cody lost has something to do with cardio issue:

Dillashaw also mentioned how Garbrandt may need to fix some technical issues in his game, but according to Bucholz, it is also a conditioning problem.

I'm assuming that the doesn't get trained very well for the second fight, or his back is still nagging him. Gonna be interesting to see him switching camps and leaving Uriah Faber.
