Yeah, this is all you need to know:

wikipedia on UFC 177 posted:

The event was originally planned to take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a Light Heavyweight Championship rematch between the current champion Jon Jones and challenger Alexander Gustafsson targeted as the event headliner. However, that bout was pushed back a month and scheduled to headline UFC 178.

A Bantamweight Championship rematch between current champion T.J. Dillashaw and former champion Renan Bar�o was expected to headline this show. Their first fight, contested at UFC 173, ended in a fifth round TKO victory for Dillashaw. However, the day of the weigh ins, Barao had to be admitted to the hospital as a result of his attempts to cut weight. Dillashaw will now face UFC newcomer Joe Soto in the main event. Soto's opponent, Anthony Birchak, was removed from the card entirely.

Demetrious Johnson was expected to defend his Flyweight Title against Chris Cariaso in the co-main event. However, on August 12, it was announced that bout would be moved to headline UFC 178 after Jon Jones against Daniel Cormier was delayed due to injury.

As a result of the cancellation of UFC 176, bouts between Danny Castillo vs. Tony Ferguson, Lorenz Larkin vs. Derek Brunson and Bethe Correia vs. Shayna Baszler were rescheduled for this event.

A heavyweight matchup between Ruslan Magomedov and Richard Odoms was official for this event. However, Odoms was forced to withdraw and the match was cancelled.

Justin Edwards was expected to face Yancy Medeiros at the event. However, Edwards pulled out of the event in the days leading up to the event citing an injury and was replaced by newcomer Damon Jackson.

Scott Jorgensen was expected to face Henry Cejudo at the event. However, Cejudo pulled out of the bout on the day of the weigh-in due to complications trying to cut weight.

This card has been so cursed, I have a feeling that it would have been canceled a la 151/176 if Barao had been hurt a week earlier. This is going to cost $44.99 and $54.99 in HD. Despite my personal feelings that the price is totally not warranted, no streams or :files: allowed.

Chat in #mma on synirc.org, someone will post a link to the goonweight thing soon I am sure.

But like, 15 people at home will ever see that.

I wonder if TJ/Barao 2: The Rematch: Remade will headline that final Brazil card in November.

I really want to see Dillashaw get his due, but man this whole card has been a fiasco. And even though I didn't think Baroa warranted an immediate rematch, at least there'd be the possibility of another mauling. As it is I think I'll wait til Jones/Cormier before I go in on a PPV.
