I was looking forward to this fight.

I have no words..

Hopefully Barao is ok physically and just dehydrated from a hard weight cut. Otherwise, I like this for Barao. I thought the rematch was too soon, heck i thought their 1st fight as too soon for him. He was hurt and barely had time to rehab far less train mentally/physically for the fight the 1st time. We all know that wasn't the same or reg Barao in the ring their 1st match up.

Let Barao co main the superbowl ppv and redeem himself, if TJ is even the champ still by then. I wouldn't count out Soto either. I'm sure TJ wasn't training for a wrestler like Soto.

Is this still on PPV? Barao should just move up. Hes too undisciplined to be cutting down to that division. Last fight he came into camp at 190lb. Thats beyond BJ Penn levels of not giving a fukk

I heard he hit his head when he fainted and had to go to the hospital from when it his the floor.

I doubt they give Barao a title shot right away.

190 pounds? Where did you hear this?

Meltzer. Whoever told him might have been exaggerating, but its no secret he cuts a lot of weight before fight. Hell even in that embedded vlog he was telling his training partners he had not even begun to cut weight yet. Him and Cerrone are the two who look like shyt come weigh ins

yeah he came in heavy that last fight cuz he was coming off an injury, he had jus enough time to rehab, far less get a full camp in. This is the main reason y I respect guys like Anderson Silva so much. To stay at the top of ur game, get hurt, have surgery or rehab and still show up to fight in top shape is simply amazing.

What injury? I don't remember hearing about that

I was looking forward to this fight.

it was the only good fight on the whole damn card

i cant believe it, i went to look for the weigh in details and found out the fukkery

a prelim guy ive never even heard of now getting the shot

and this is a ppv card (over here in the uk its not though ) we have all fights on a pay sports channel

Barao didnt even deserve a instant rematch, he got beat up for 5 rounds then finished, bet Dominic Cruz is happy

 

[jackswstd]

Anyone who buys this card now should have their head examined.

190 pounds has to be an exaggeration, that doesn't make any sense.

I've got bad news for all the mixed martial arts (MMA) fans who were hoping Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight titleholder TJ Dillashaw was going to send a "get well soon" card to former division kingpin Renan Barao, who was pulled from their championship rematch after struggling to make weight (details).

Not happening.

"He's scared, he don't want it," Dillashaw said at today's UFC 177 weigh in event (watch the video here). "His coaches wanted the rematch more than he did. He never missed weight before and it's kind of funny that he wants to do it now."

Ouch.

When Barao was bumped from the pay-per-view (PPV) card, which takes place this Saturday night (August 30, 2014) inside Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California, the promotion borrowed Joe Soto from the FOX Sports 1 "Prelims" as an emergency fill in (more on that here).

"I'm a company man, I gotta fight whoever they put in front of me," he continued. "I'm the champion of the world, I want to beat anybody, especially in Sacramento."

Can he get it done? Find out right here.

Until then, you can check out the completely reworked UFC 177: "Dillashaw vs. Soto" fight card and line up here.

Alpha male is starting to become my most disliked camp in MMA. All them come off as douche frat boys. Scared? A healthy, focused Barao beats the breaks off Dillashaw
