    ESPN reporting it now and Joe Soto has stepped in on 24 hours notice to fight for the title. Jaysus, they must be that desperate that it took an unknown replacement to take a title fight on that much notice to very likely save the card from being cancelled in its entirety.

    I was half hoping Faber would step in.

    Same camps, too much internal politics would have to be sorted first and 24 hours wouldn't be enough.

    Gonna be a lot of people looking for refunds for tickets I reckon. Pretty sure they are entitled to one when the main event is cancelled.

    Yeah it wasnt exactly a stacked card to begin with... the main event was sort of carrying it.

    Id say the UFC is sickened!

    awful shame that
    gotta feel for folks other side of the pond who've forked out as much
    as 65 bucks for this

    dont think the overall card will turn out to be the worst ever but the main
    card will surely be

    It's too late for anyone else to make the cut, other than a 135er who was already on the card. Literally their only option was Soto or Birchak (his original opponent).

    Don't think it should be a title match myself

    If Barao is struggling so much with cutting to 135 he might never get his rematch

    Why not?
    Imo, If Dilishaw is fighting at 135, the title is on the line.

    Yeah if the dudes steppin up on 24 hr notice he deserves a shot at it! atleast! and some extra dosh aswell!

    I dont think barao should get the rematch after this change weight class if u can make the weight...so stupid people killing themselves for a weight advantage they need to do same day weigh ins to stop the rumble johnsons of this world! lol

    Why would it not be a title fight? How do you think it would look if Soto wins and Dillashaw walks out for his next fight holding the belt? Terrible idea IMO

    Besides its Dillashaw's hometown right? Im sure he wants to put on a good show for his family & friends and show everyone its his belt. If he believes he's the champion then he should have no problem facing up against anyone, both are in the position of only knowing 24hrs previously.

    DW has said he wants Barao to move upto 145 & Aldo to 155 because neither cut weight well & Barao is not getting the Dillashaw rematch in his next fight. I think these comments are a bit harsh considering this is the 1st time there has been an issue with Barao's weight.

    not surprised barao wont get the next shot now at all given how much this
    will cost them which im sure is a factor
    still a bit harsh he's being overlooked next time out there given its very
    unlikely it would happen again i'd imagine

    I suppose they have to punish/discipline Barao in some way(otherwise ppl might drop out of fights all over the place) but I just feel its harsh because he's been on such a good winning run, been a great champ & its his 1st issue. Maybe they can't fine him or take money off his next fight due to it being contracted to different event.

    Maybe there is more to this than we know currently. Maybe Barao had some problems going into the last fight, which would explain partly his performance on the night.

    Or maybe he just got his ass whooped by the better faster fighter? Imo the only thing that was wrong with him was dillashaws speed and punches to the face..constantly!

    Just cause your on a good run doesnt mean you re certain to win every fight he just met his match imo

    And the rematch was no more than a cashin on that run, he didnt in anyway shape or form deserve an instant rematch after being destroyed!

    What is it with Nova Uniao guys cutting so much weight? Jose Aldo has had horrific weight cuts the past few fights too (and passed kidney stones after his last two ones I believe).

    my first thought after the fight was that dillashaw had improved a lot on
    anything shown before that fight but his display on the night was perfection
    then I began to wonder/doubt whether barao just had an off night for whatever reason to be dominated in that fashion after beating everyone else so convincingly but uriah pushed him as close as anyone first time they fought so maybe tj was just a better fighter than uriah at this stage
    all of this was of course by reading what other people had said about the bad weight cuts etc etc which I was aware of but not aware how bad these cuts were exactly


    it's an awful shame cruz wasnt around at his prime given how weak overall
    the division was and probably still is

    No point in two threads running simultaneously. I'll lock this one and we can stick to the main thread.
