None other than former Ufc heavyweight champion (and current WWE champion) Brock Lesnar was featured at last night’s Ufc 184 Pay Per View, shown cage side decked out in a suit and looking considerably trimmer than he has in recent years. The event featured Ronda Rousey breaking the record for shortest Ufc title defence at just 14 seconds, the total amount of time required for her to catch Cat Zingano in her patented arm bar. The record had been previously held by former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski.
Lesnar’s appearance, while brief, got a huge crowd reaction and Lesnar himself seemed pretty fired up. Coming less than a week after a highly publicized walk-out on Raw, something attributed to negotiations between the WWE and Lesnar hitting an impasse, could this be just a coincidence – or was Lesnar sending the WWE a message?

Ufc
There wasn’t much to look forward to at Ufc 177, and that was before it lost its main event.
Originally, Renan Barao was expected to get an immediate title rematch against T.J. Dillashaw, after Dillashaw shocked the Mma world in May, upsetting Barao and taking his belt. However, while cutting weight, Barao fell ill, passed out, hit his head in the bath tub, and had to be rushed to hospital. In an interview at the Ufc 177 prelims with Joe Rogan, Barao stated he cuts about 10 kilograms of weight going into the weigh-ins, an awful lot of weight in a short time, though he blamed standing up too fast on the black-out.
With the Barao fight lost, Joe Soto, who has never fought in the Ufc but was a champion in Bellator, steps up on almost zero notice to fight Dillashaw for the belt. He was originally scheduled on the preliminary card.

Ufc
The absolute worst happened Friday evening: the main event of Ufc 177, the only fight worth watching on the entire main card save perhaps a female bantamweight fight between feuding fighters, has been lost.
Former champion Renan Barao, who was getting an immediate rematch against T.J. Dillashaw, fell ill during the weight cutting process leading into the bout, a bantamweight (135lbs) tilt, and had to be taken to hospital.
With no suitable fight on the card able to replace the main event (the co-main event, Tony Ferguson vs. Danny Castillo, has been derided as a fight that could be good, but that has little relevancy and no place at the top of a card), Ufc brass were forced to replace Barao with former Bellator featherweight champ Joe Soto, who was to make his Ufc debut during the preliminary portion of Saturday’s event.
This news is an absolute disaster for the Ufc,...
