Apparently he fell lost conciousness and hit his head during weight cut.

WAR Soto because that would be an epic UFC debut, to go from originally scheduled to being the 2nd fight on the prelims to the main event and winning the title.

UFC 177 already featured one of the most maligned pay-per-view lineups in promotion history. That was before Renan Barao dropped out of his bantamweight title rematch against T.J. Dillashaw on Friday afternoon.

According to a report from the Brazilian outlet Combate, Barao passed out while cutting weight on Friday and was taken to a Sacramento hospital. Not surprisingly, the Brazilian did not show up for licensing or medicals with the California State Athletic Commission. A source close to the bout told Sherdog.com that Joe Soto will now get the 135-pound title shot against Dillashaw.

A little more than three weeks ago, Soto competed at Tachi Palace Fights 20, where he submittedTerrion Ware with a north-south choke in the third round. After the bout, the Californian lobbied for a shot in the Octagon.

His wish was granted less than a week later, as he was paired with Anthony Birchak in a preliminary bout at UFC 177. With Soto's plans changing, Birchak will not compete on Saturday night. A five-time Bellator veteran, Soto enters his matchup with Dillashaw on a six-fight winning streak.

Dillashaw upset Barao at UFC 173 to capture the bantamweight strap. The Team Alpha Malestandout is 6-2 in the Octagon, with his only losses coming at the hands of Raphael Assuncao andJohn Dodson.

Surprised Dana's ego is even allowing it.

Ben Saunders with the first ever submission win via omoplata

Wow... Im a fan of Saunders but part of me thinks anyone that gets subbed like that has no business in the ring in the first place.

I wonder what the PPV buys will be? Read that it was great fights, but for me it wasn't worth $60.

Good to see Soto get that opportunity and make it to the last round. his last fight prior to this one was against my friend, Jeremiah Labiano. hope my buddy can get an opportunity with the UFC soon

Soto actually had another fight after Labiano (2 or 3 weeks prior to 177).

Can your buddy make 125 ? Has he tried out for TUF ?

Re: Tate vs Karate Hottie...they are in different weight classes. But you guys can fap to Tate vs Rin Nakai lol.

Fridays card looks great on paper. WAR Jacare and Mitrione!
