It's a known thing, low talent pool in Mighty Mouse's division, not many fighters - but why?
For the boxing fans here, you'll obviously know 126 is boxing's featherweight division. Needless to say, featherweight is a classic division in boxing, home to some of the best fighters ever.
Henry Armstrong, Arguello, Wilfredo Gomez, Salvador Sanchez, Sandy Saddler, Willie Pep, and then more recently Morales and Barrera, and Marquez and Pacquiao. Even Floyd started his career at super featherweight, only 4 pounds up.
So certainly no lack of talent there, why aren't there more elite 126 pounders in MMA?
