With the recent cancellation of UFC 176, the organization next heads to pay-per-view on Aug. 30 with UFC 177. Check out a video preview of the night’s headlining title fight and rematch.
Heading into the bout, which takes place at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, the promotional pitch focuses on UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw (10-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and his upset of ex-titleholder Renan Barao (32-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) earlier this year at UFC 173.
Barao, a 10-1 favorite with the oddsmakers in that May 24 meeting, was dethroned after Dillashaw connected on a fight-ending head kick and punches after dominating much of the fight.
Relive that first meeting above as you get ready for the rematch.
