It shows really UFC tries to be a professional, legitimate sports league, but it definitely has much more interest in bottom line, though of course all professional leagues are business at heart, but you'd imagine there has to be some sort of principles.
I remember when they brought back UFC lightweight division. I remember when they brought in featherweight and bantamweights and flyweights.
To get rid of a weight division, while keeping incredibly, incomparibly more shallow female mma divisions, not just one but two and third on the way, seems nothing but a cash-grabbing move.
Not only that, to scrap the division, albeit unofficially to save face, and THEN make the final title match between a guy who arguablly lost his last fight against a dominant champion who destroyed him in the first fight, and even more importantly who had problem making weights in the flyweight division, and a guy who is moving down from a weight class above with ONE title defense under his belt, seems like spitting in the face of a spirit of the legitimate, athletic competition which UFC appears to aspire to be.
I don't give a single fuck about the flyweight division, just like WMMA, but they getting the raw deal here, and where's the outrage?
