On Saturday August 30 the UFC will hold UFC 177: Dillashaw vs. Barao II from the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.

In the night’s headliner Renan Barao will get his title rematch against T.J. Dillashaw. In May Dillashaw stepped up for a title shot when Raphael Assunscao wasn’t able to due to an injury. On that night Dillashaw shocked the world by battering Barao for four rounds before finishing him in the fifth. Barao who was on a twenty five-plus win streak before that loss. Some questioned the move, but the Brazilian was granted the rematch on the strength of that winning streak. It won’t be easy for Barao to get his belt back as this rematch is taking place in enemy territory. Sacramento is right in the backyard of Dillashaw’s home base, Team Alpha Male.

In the night’s co-main event Dillashaw’s training partner, Danny Castillo, get’s the biggest showcase of his career. The lightweight will be facing former Ultimate Fighter winner, Tony Ferguson. Castillo has been up and down throughout his UFC career, but he has won three of his last four fights and is coming off of a vicious one-punch knockout of Charlie Brenneman. Ferguson has only lost once in his UFC career and is finding his own when it comes to finishing fights. “El Cucuy” has finished Mike Rio and Katsunori Kikuno consecutively; one by submission and one by knockout. Both men will be looking to move into the crowded lightweight title picture.

Baszler will finally be making her long awaited UFC debut in this one. The female MMA pioneer was scheduled to make her octagon debut earlier this year, but had to pull out due to an injury. When all is said and done Baszler will be entering this bout on a nearly twenty month layoff. Baszler’s last bout came in Invcta FC back in January of 2013 where she fell to Rousey’s most recent challenger, Alexis Davis.
