Dillashaw looked good. Soto looked better than expected. Everybody wins? I mean, except--you know--Barao. Your move, Mr. Cruz.
— Chad Dundas (@chaddundas) August 31, 2014TJ Dillashaw also becomes the 1st fighter in @UFC History,
to finish two Championship fights in the 5th Round

— MMA History Today (@MMAHistoryToday) August 31, 2014So T.J. Dillashaw can finish folks in the 5th round? That's cool.

— Akira Corassani (@AkiraCorassani) August 31, 2014What. The. Fuck?! Did he just imply that if this were jail his penis would be inside of his... soft tail deluxe?
— Liver Kick (@LiverKickdotcom) August 31, 2014Castillo: "I controlled a grown man on his back… if he was in jail, he’d be in trouble.” Maybe quote of the night.
— Bleacher Report MMA (@BR_MMA) August 31, 2014Tony did all the work on the ground and Danny tried to just hold him down.
— Dana White (@danawhite) August 31, 2014I agree with the judges on that
— Dana White (@danawhite) August 31, 2014Boo all you want Tony Ferguson can't even hear you. Have you seen his fucking ears?! #UFC177 #cauliflowerears
— PegCityJake (@PegCityJake) August 31, 2014Sucks the UFC outlawed strikes while on top.
— Ryan Loco (@RyanLoco) August 31, 2014"Urijah Faber never lays on anyone's chest." Several hundred groupies beg to differ.
— tanya (@TheTanyaAttack) August 31, 2014shayna shows that if you follow what you love, you can be paid zero money for 10 years and then get plastered by a younger, better fighter
— Hot Take Man (@swarthyvillain) August 31, 2014Pretty sure Shayna Baszler got punched in the vagina just then.
— Suzanne Davis (@SoozieCuzie) August 31, 2014Baszler looking Mark Coleman tired.
— Seán Sheehan (@SeanSheehanBA) August 31, 2014I love the 4 Horsewomen thing, because it gives other women a chance to promote themselves by beating 3 out of 4. #UFC177
— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) August 31, 2014@benfowlkesMMA Che Mills was a killer. Tony Ferguson is a murderer. I would LOVE to hear Joe Rogan describe Jack the Ripper. #UFC177
— Alex Conway (@AlexConway6588) August 31, 2014Sometimes it's like Ramsey Nijem fights like he has Mark Hunt's chin. He doesn't, though.
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) August 31, 2014Benson Henderson just got up and started jogging around after that finish
— Fight Parrot (@FightParrot) August 31, 2014Damon Jackson's attempted sitout gets him strangled into instant convulsing unconsciousness by Medeiros' power bulldog guillotine thing. A+.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) August 31, 2014Holy SHIT that choke was CRAZY
— Dana White (@danawhite) August 31, 2014#UFC177 - Because we wanted you to be with your family for the entire Labor Day weekend
— The_Lutfi (@The_Lutfi) August 31, 2014TIME TO END THIS SUFFERING
OH WAIT NOPE MY BAD
3 MORE HOURS OF SUFFERING
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) August 31, 2014At least they're still letting Barao wear a UFC T-shirt. No title shot, dude, but you can keep your gear.
— Jeff Wagenheim SI (@jeffwagenheim) August 31, 2014Ouch!!! http://t.co/663bmaAvqB
— Dana White (@danawhite) August 31, 2014DirecTV reps been busy tonight canceling this event for businesses. Think getting them to renew those package deals will be hard.
— tanya (@TheTanyaAttack) August 31, 2014Renan's bathtub just got signed by Bellator @MMARoasted.
— Kris Milo Orosco (@sincerelyKrisYo) August 31, 2014"I was dehydrated, fainted, hit my head and woke up in the hospital." @RenanBaraoUFC
— UFC (@ufc) August 31, 2014Can't wait for the headline: Neck Injury RUANed Potts.
— Suzanne Davis (@SoozieCuzie) August 31, 2014"this Pott's not even worth pissing in.." - Coach Bagels - "let alone any effort to throw it out the window."
— Joey Oddessa (@MMAOdds) August 31, 2014Let's kill time by killing the quote unquote media.
— Josh Gross (@yay_yee) August 31, 2014I wish Dana White would lay off Dave Meltzer. Seriously, give it a rest. Being critical is part of the deal. Journalists = / UFC shills.
— Yael Grauer (@yaelwrites) August 31, 2014@TJDeSantis Media's first job is to the reader. If my honest opinion is that tonight is a waste of money, I'd fail in my duties to say other
— Brent Brookhouse (@brentbrookhouse) August 31, 2014Dana White burned the production truck for the insurance money. That's the only way this event will pay off.
— CagePotato.com (@cagepotatomma) August 31, 2014It may be demented, but I kind of like when Buffer says, "the VERY first round." It feels like he's chiding the loser for wasting our time.
— Suzanne Davis (@SoozieCuzie) August 31, 2014takin dana's advice and goin to the fuckin movies. it's whatever the god is ready younahmean.
— GFKonMMA (@GFKonMMA) August 31, 2014Now that Chris wade has made it to the UFC, the next #ROC guy to get the call up should be Frankie Perez
— The_Lutfi (@The_Lutfi) August 31, 2014I feel like there's a "no he Cain't" joke in there but I'm better than that. I'm not, really, but still.
— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) August 31, 2014WOW!!! Great choke Wade
— Dana White (@danawhite) August 31, 2014Despite the universe's best efforts, #UFC177 is underway.
