Rumor: If 125 is Dissolved, Not All Flyweights Will Move Up; Many Will Be Cut.

[Arkridge]

Another key and interesting detail to add onto this whole thing.

They'll just go to One to be Mighty Mouse cannon-fodder (possibly again)

 

[TCE]

I hope they don't cut Ben Nguyen, he's one of my favourites.

Interesting indeed though.

The interest in the mini fighters has been dwindling for years. Women's mma soon to follow

 

[ookii]

Circus Du Soleil about to be fully employed

 

[Sage NorthGOAT]

Its time for that 165/175 split. Throw in a 195 & a cruiserweight too. We have MMA/WMMA ratios to maintain

 

[Slatersan]

Theres other organizations thatll take them. Ill be so glad to not have to sit through any more of those fights during a pay per view.

 

[Reileyb]

Expected that a bunch would be cut, a lot of them are just filler so the division doesn't just have a few fighters.

 

[chitoortiz]

That's too bad.

Figueiredo better not be cut

 

[XThe GreatestX]

Makes sense....

Why would you have them ALL move up?

 

[MMACroatia]

Good

 

[Wolfbrigade]

 

[faustian]

Totally unfair that physically disabled dudes who would get rekt by ~90% of the population can't make a living as professional fighters

If I were a FLW, I'd rather leave tbh.

Not a fan of WMMA but that would not look good in the public eye and the UFC knows that so WMMA is staying.

 

[Chad W]

don't understand what makes that "unreal." that's what I figured what would happen. there aren't spots for over a hundred bantamweights

Keep the top 5-8 hopefully. Can the rest.

 

[moogie101]

If too small to move up or just not good enough then they should be cut.

If I were a FLW, I'd rather leave tbh.

And make the same money where though? Japan or ACB I guess that those aren't the most appealing options either.
