The complete UFC 177 fight card will air later this evening (Sat., Aug. 30, 2014) on two different stations -- FOX Sports 1 and pay-per-view (PPV) -- as well as online via "Fight Pass" digital network. In UFC 177's five-round main event, Bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw was supposed to demonstrate that his complete domination of former 135-pound kingpin, Renan Barao, three months ago was no fluke.
But then disaster struck, with Barao being forced off the card because of a terrible weight cut (read full details here). Dillashaw will now defend his 135-pound title for the first time against Joe Soto, a former Bellator and Tachi Palace Fights champion who was scheduled to make his Octagon debut against Anthony Birchak on the "Prelims" under card.
UFC 177: "Dillashaw vs. Soto," which will emanate from Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif., will also feature a Lightweight showdown between Danny Castillo against The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 winner, Tony Ferguson, as well as a women's match between one of UFC's "Four Horsewomen," Shayna Baszler, who will look to avenge the loss of her stablemate, Jessamyn Duke, when she takes on Bethe Correia in other PPV main card action.
That's just the top of a eight-fight card in "Sac Town." UFC 177 will begin around 8 p.m. ET with the 155-pound scrap between Cain Carrizosa against Chris Wade, which will stream LIVE on FOX Sports 1. With the recent scratch of Henry Cejudo, who was scheduled to make his Octagon debut tonight against Scott Jorgensen, the "Fight Pass" portion of the "Prelims" under card has been eliminated.
The "Prelims" under card will begin to air live on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m., featuring fights between Strikeforce Middleweight imports Derek Brunson against Lorenz Larkin and mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Anthony Hamilton testing his might against Ruan Potts, among others.
