UFC 177: Dillashaw vs. Barao

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.

ShaneU · 29-08-2014 11:23pm

A guy from the prelims gets a title shot now? lol

pauldoo · 29-08-2014 11:24pm

Say this might set a record for lowest ppv

No Co - main event to save it.

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

Christ you're right. It sounds like there are about twenty people there.

Soto bumped up from prelims to main event.

Such a farcical card at this stage.

Lenin Skynard · 30-08-2014 1:21pm

It would be a bit of craic of Soto won it. I'll be rooting for him.

UFC champ on his UFC debut :cool:

weemcd · 30-08-2014 10:42pm

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

UFC Dublin was 10 times better than this

ASOT · 31-08-2014 12:35am

Well played Bellator :pac:

mailburner · 31-08-2014 12:40am

lol, love that
bad cnuts they are

ASOT · 31-08-2014 1:16am

Beautiful sub just there.

ASOT · 31-08-2014 1:34am

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

Cyber Ghost · 31-08-2014 2:23am

Just found out Barao is out lol.

Worst card ever just got worse!

Wrongway1985 · 31-08-2014 3:11am

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.

Wrongway1985 · 31-08-2014 3:13am

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

Joe said it was the "Haunted" card but that's surely not unusual to u given yer user name.

Wrongway1985 · 31-08-2014 3:44am

Woah excellent first right there

weemcd · 31-08-2014 3:58am

So far yep good 1st round in the women s bantamweight there too

Wrongway1985 · 31-08-2014 4:15am

One way traffic in that second round

weemcd · 31-08-2014 4:18am

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.

Wrongway1985 · 31-08-2014 4:38am

Castillo could've taken that round but great work off the bottom by Ferguson
