I doubt there's a significant weight difference between the two, especially after listening to Mike Brown talking about Joanna's diet and weightcut in the video that I posted above.
It would be silly for the UFC to crown a TUF winner as the 105 champ when the best atomweight is already on the roster. Then again, they did exactly that with 125 so you never know.Yeah, they did a pretty good job with 115, even though many of the top fighters did not apply. Methinks the winner would once again be a place holder.

I'm taking Chiesa's word on this matter with a grain of salt though, but it is interesting to hear such a rumor from him of all people.

A tourni would be pretty cool if done right. 8 fighter spread with, sayI hope they just do it in some sort of tournament format. This would give the people unfamiliar with the division time to get to know some people plus it adds legitimacy - something the UFC seems to give zero fucks about - it does not waste time with that stupid-ass show and a lot of the old-timers, myself included, like the idea.

Waterson
Hamderlei
JYF
Minna (particularly if she wins next week)
Carla (if she can)
Tecia (ditto)
Hamasaki
Kanna
With alternates like Amber Brown or Jessica Penne. Maybe you could add some of the younger guns in Invicta but I'd probably go with established vets for this tourni.
Of course, this is the UFC so we'd get a TUF season with half of the cast being whodafooks with nice asses instead.
Yes her last attempt was a very hard cut but that was because it was a late replacement. People always leave the lack of time she had to diet down out when stating how hard the cut was.Can Waterson really make 105 again? Her stalker has stated how hard it was, she nearly died, etc.? She has spent the bulk of her career at 115 and lately has added more mass (in a very good way).

Didn't Waterson got finished in her last AW fight?It would be silly for the UFC to crown a TUF winner as the 105 champ when the best atomweight is already on the roster.
Yea, I am not sure if she can make it anymore. Especially after seeing that picture she put up today on her instagram.He seemed to play more than one cut up as difficult, but, well, I am not sure how accurate that was. I do know she is larger than ever, and probably does not want to cut back down. It is not as if she will dominate the division. She only has one top five win in history. I think she has two top ten wins.
Maybe she couldn't make the cut in the next 2 or so months, fine, but i'm sure she would slowly adapt her body to try it if this division was indeed confirmed.Yea, I am not sure if she can make it anymore. Especially after seeing that picture she put up today on her instagram.
I didn’t include her because I thought she was inactive. I suppose a year and a half isn’t that bad though; before checking I thought it was much longer.Interesting that you didn't included the girl responsible by that in your fantasy tourney too..
She had a baby, but i'm pretty sure she will be back next year, not anytime soon though.I didn’t include her because I thought she was inactive. I suppose a year and a half isn’t that bad though; before checking I thought it was much longer.
The whole tourni is a pipe dream, so I figured why not Kanna? TBH I’d be pretty surprised if the UFC goes after Hamderlei early too just because they don’t seem to be keen on outbidding orgs for their WMMA talent and she already fought for them before
It's pretty sad that Kaufman has to resort to this to get fights. She should be in the UFC.
