Countdown to UFC 177: TJ Dillashaw vs Renan Barao (Video)

The UFC returns to the pay-per-view market this weekend with a paltry offering especially considering the last UFC pay-per-view, UFC 176, was cancelled.

Although we suggested last week that the UFC should move UFC 177 to free television, they are moving forward as planned on pay-per-view.

In an attempt to hype the event, the UFC recently unveiled the “Countdown to UFC 177” highlighting the main event rematch for the bantamweight championship between TJ Dillashaw and Renan Barao.

The countdown show is excellent as usual and gives a detailed backstory of how the bout came to be, both men’s training for the bout, and a lot more.

Check out the main event segment of the countdown show in the video below:
