UFC 173: James Krause vs. Jamie Varner Full Fight Video Highlights

On Saturday, May 24, the UFC hosted UFC 173: Barao vs. Dillashaw from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

In the night’s main event, the promotion’s bantamweight title was on the line as champion Renan Barao defended his title against T.J. Dillashaw. The Brazilian Barao rode a gaudy 33-fight unbeaten streak that dated back to 2005 into the contest. In February, the Nova Uniao product dispatched of Urijah Faber at UFC 169. Dillashaw, meanwhile, had gone 5-2 inside the Octagon prior to the title affair. The Team Alpha Male fighter was the runner-up on The Ultimate Fighter 14 and most recently edged Mike Easton at UFC Fight Night 35 in January.

Also on the main card, unbeaten wrestling stalwart Daniel Cormier looked to move one step closer to a light heavyweight title shot when he battled former Strikeforce and Pride champion Dan Henderson. Cormier starched Patrick Cummins in his 205-pound debut in February, while Henderson moved back into title talk in March with a TKO of former champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.

Rounding out the pay-per-view card were welterweights Robbie Lawler and Jake Ellenberger, bantamweights Takeya Mizugaki and Francisco Rivera, and lightweights James Krause and Jamie Varner.

The 12-fight card kicked off Saturday at 6:30 p.m. ET with three fights streaming on UFC Fight Pass. Four additional bouts followed on Fox Sports 1 on at 8 p.m. ET, with the main card beginning at 10 p.m. ET.
