The UFC returned to pay-per-view on Saturday for the first time since Fourth of July weekend with UFC 177 at Sacramento’s Sleep Train Arena A UFC bantamweight championship fight headlined the card. However, it wasn’t the one anticipated for the past few months. T.J. Dillashaw (11-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) held on to his belt with a fifth-round knockout of last-minute replacement Joe Soto (15-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) after his original opponent, ex-champ Renan Barao , pulled out on the eve of the event. Prior to the main event, a number of entertaining fights rounded out the main card as Tony Ferguson (16-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC) took home a split-decision win, Bethe Correia (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) scored a knockout, and Carlos Diego Ferreira (11-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Yancy Medeiros (10-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) picked up submission finishes
