After removing Renan Barao, who fainted this Friday afternoon (29) while cutting weight, the atmosphere was heavy at the UFC 177 weigh-in, which is now headlined by the bantamweight belt fight between TJ Dillashaw and Joe Soto. However, not even the visible dejection of the Ultimate team present at the Sleep Train Arena, in Sacaramento (USA), could resist the Brazilian Bethe Correia. The native of Rio de Janeiro, who faces Shayna Baszler, stole the show by presenting herself with some very daring lingerie on the scales.

Pitbull has already taken the stage, attracting attention. Wearing an elegant dress and high-heeled shoes, the Brazilian, who weighed 61,4 kg, wore an outfit that was very different from the other athletes' sportswear. But the surprise really came when Bethe took off the piece and showed off red lingerie, with a strapless bra.
But it wasn't just because of her outfit that the Brazilian stood out at the weigh-in. It was Bethe and Shayna who had, by far, the most tense confrontation of the night. Declared rivals, they attacked each other and were contained by president Dana White. Away from Baszler, Pitbull even made some gestures towards his opponent, indicating that he would be keeping an eye on her.
Baron's name still remains in promotional material
With the cutoff just a few hours before the weigh-in, there was no time for the organization to adapt the promotional materials for the new main duel, between TJ Dillashaw and Joe Soto. Therefore, it was still possible to see “Dillashaw x Barão 2” throughout the banner used as a backdrop for the event.
Dillashaw and Soto have a friendly face
No problems with the scale, TJ Dillashaw he reached the division's 61,2 kg limit and confirmed his presence in his first belt defense. After stepping off the scale, the American walked over to face a Joe Soto who was visibly anxious about the situation, but the atmosphere was quite friendly when the two found themselves face to face. What was seen were many greetings and respect from both sides.
