    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_177

    Main Card
    Bantamweight T.J. Dillashaw (c) vs. Renan Barão
    Lightweight Tony Ferguson vs. Danny Castillo
    Women's Bantamweight Bethe Correia vs. Shayna Baszler
    Lightweight Ramsey Nijem vs. Carlos Diego Ferreira
    Lightweight Yancy Medeiros vs. Damon Jackson

    Preliminary card (Fox Sports 1)
    Middleweight Lorenz Larkin vs. Derek Brunson
    Flyweight Scott Jorgensen vs. Henry Cejudo
    Heavyweight Ruan Potts vs. Anthony Hamilton
    Bantamweight Joe Soto vs. Anthony Birchak

    Preliminary card (UFC Fight Pass)
    Lightweight Chris Wade vs. Cain Carrizosa

    Whether you agree that Barao deserved an immediate rematch or not you can be guaranteed that sparks will definitely fly. A grudge has been building between the factions of Alpha Male and Nova Uniao in the last while and this should definitely make for intense viewing. The interesting question is what happens if Barao wins his title back? Rubber match straight away?

    The UFC would be looking for Bath Correia to win in her bout with Shayna Baszler as this would add fuel to the whole 'defeating the 4 horsewomen' debacle. However I think Baszler has the grappling credentials to control.

    Even though he won his last fight, a loss for Jorgensen could still mean an axing.

    As poor a card you're likely to see for a numbered PPV event. It could turn out to be great of course but bar the main event there's not a whole lot that jumps out at me bar maybe Ramsey Nijem but that's only because I think he's got huge potential to cause some upsets in that division.

    The weigh-in is on in half an hour should be interesting.

    Soto bumped up from prelims to main event.

    Such a farcical card at this stage.

    Most fight night cards, even the European ones were almost all better than this.

    UFC Dublin was 10 times better than this

    Having only 3 fights on the undercard is an absolute joke, there really dragging it out and its very annoying.

    Right tunin' in nonetheless only caught last prelim terrible anyway, everyone knows the womens bout was co-main as it was third down before they swapped the flyweight title bout but probably didn't want that highlighted so the Castillo Ferguson bout was moved to co-main.

    I like Dillashaw hope he does it but actually wouldn't b suprised if Soto pulls off a shock.

    That was an absolute hammering Basler took there. I doubt she has much left for the top level.

    Plenty of nice finishes today

    Basler's finished I'd say.

    Ferguson has too much for Castillo so far.
