August 31 Wrestling Observer Radio: UFC 177: Dillashaw defends, Barao, Cejudo, Bethe, PWG, more~!

Wrestling Observer Radio returns with Dave Meltzer and Mike Sempervive talking all of the news in professional wrestling and mixed martial arts – led by last night’s UFC 177 from the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento. We talk the whole show, including T.J. Dillashaw’s bantamweight title defense over Joe Soto, what’s next for him, could/would Dominick Cruz have taken the bout?, Joe Rogan’s Renan Barào interview and the problem of weight cutting, the problem of Henry Cejudo, Correia puts a second horse to pasture; wants Rousey (and vice-versa), a beautifully creative chokeout by Yancy Medeiros, OneFC’s Ben Askren and Shinya Aoki, Dana’s mood, and, of course, what the gate receipts are. Plus, what the lineup is for tonight’s PWG BOLA finale, the lineups for the next two big NJPW shows, and a little bit more. It’s a fun 70-minute show to help make your Labor Day a little less laborious, so check it out~!
