The UFC owes more than just a tip of the cap to men like Joe Soto, who more often than not, step up to the plate when another scheduled fight card begins to self-destruct. Without Soto, UFC 177 would have been the next instance of a fight card gone up in flames. T.J. Dillashaw was […]

There’s no denying it—a great deal of shuffling left UFC 177 underwhelming on paper. UFC 176 was cancelled. The highly anticipated rematch between Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson was pushed back. So was the co-main event between Demetrious Johnson and Chris Cariaso. Even the rematch for the UFC Bantamweight Championship between TJ Dillashaw and Renan Barao […]

Joe Soto stepped up in a huge way Saturday night. Friday before the weigh-ins, Soto was supposed to face Anthony Birchak on the undercard. Then, when Renan Barao was forced to pull out of the fight, Soto stepped up to face the champion, TJ Dillashaw, on little more than 24 hours’ notice. Soto came absolutely […]

When bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw successfully defended his title Saturday night against Joe Soto at UFC 177, he proved that he belongs in the conversation as one of the pound-for-pound toughest men in the sport. The results of the pay-per-view were much more entertaining than the card should have been. The event felt incredibly lackluster […]

As expected, TJ Dillashaw successfully defended his bantamweight championship against replacement opponent Joe Soto on Saturday. That said, Soto did his best to keep the bout competitive all the way into the fifth and final round. Dillashaw was originally suppposed to meet Renan Barao, the man he took the 135-pound belt from, in a rematch. However, […]

UFC 177 was a battered pay-per-view before it ever got a chance, but the main card came through with some solid action. T.J. Dillashaw retained his UFC bantamweight title with a fifth-round knockout, and co-main eventers Tony Ferguson and Danny Castillo had an entertaining back-and-forth battle that went to Ferguson by split decision. Bethe Correia […]
