UFC 177: Fights to Make

Underground
1

With UFC returning to Sacramento on August 30, who else do you want to see flesh out the card besides the already announced main event?

Based on UFC 173's buy rate of just 200K, I think they need to go bigger than the 1st time Barao and Dillashaw fought...even with the added intrigue of the fact that it's a rematch of a huge upset.

So who would make sense for this event?

Main Event:
TJ Dillashaw vs. Renan Barao II

-Dominic Cruz's return (his manager said he could be ready by Aug 30, even tho he prefers Sept). If Mizugaki is still hurt, put him against Bryan Caraway.

-A fight between local Sacramento and Team Alpha Male fighter Joseph Benevidez against someone like Ray Borg Phone Post 3.0

That would make an incredible Co-Main. Phone Post 3.0

Dilashaw vs Barao 2 (C)
Dodson vs Mighty Mouse (C)
Jacare vs Mousasi (if 176 is scrapped)
Faber vs Raphael Assuncao
Cruz vs Mizugaki
Benavidez vs Ali Bagutinov
Danny Castillo vs Adriano Martins
Bobby Green vs Abel Trujillo (if 176 is scrapped)

This would be a dope card

potato623 - Dilashaw vs Barao 2 (C)
Dodson vs Mighty Mouse (C)
Jacare vs Mousasi (if 176 is scrapped)
Faber vs Raphael Assuncao
Cruz vs Mizugaki
Benavidez vs Ali Bagutinov
Danny Castillo vs Adriano Martins
Bobby Green vs Abel Trujillo (if 176 is scrapped)

This would be a dope card
I wonder if UFC would put both FW and BW championship bouts on the same card... I don't see why not. They just put two much bigger title fights on UFC 175, and this would potentially solve the problem of a title fight in either of the lower weight classes not being quite enough to move the needle on PPV buys Phone Post 3.0

176 wont be scrapped

I like the fights people have on here.

Would love it if they put the card like this:
Dilashaw vs Barao 2 (C)
Dodson vs Mighty Mouse (C)
Faber vs Cruz (If cruz doesn't want a warm up fight)
Mitrione vs Derrick Lewis
Duffee vs Schaub

Benavidez vs Ali Bagutinov (prelim headliner on FS1)

Tickets go on sale on Wednesday and even with 176 being "postponed" 177 still doesn't have a co main event and they seem to be filling tip the other cards rather then 177
What happens if tj or barao gets injured are they going to "postpone" this one too
They really need to add some good fights to this card Phone Post 3.0
