Episode No. 5 of “The Ultimate Fighter 25: Redemption” opens with a conversation at the “TUF” house between Team Dillashaw’s Dhiego Lima and Team Garbrandt’s Hayder Hassan , who are scheduled to fight later in the episode. It’s an uncomfortable situation, because both men are members of American Top Team and share a number of coaches outside the confines of the competition. They also consider each other friends, and as a result hoped they could avoid being matched up until at least the second round. But instead, with Team Dillashaw ahead 4-0 and Team Garbrandt given control of fight selection, head coach Cody Garbrandt decided to make the fight. Hassan told the Team Garbrandt coaches earlier in the season that Lima would be an “easy” fight for him, but he didn’t expect it to happen.
