Are the Flyweight division's days numbered?

[Towelie by TKO]

I've defended 125 for a long long time.

That was actually a decent fight.

The crowd hated it, everyone at this sports bar also hated it.

The fans are apathetic towards the Champion. One of the top 3 guys in the division just confronted a booing crowd by asking them to fight his opponent. Joseph was right, but the fans will not take that well.

Mighty Mouse still isn't a draw, and he probably never will be. Looking at metrics like Google Trends, he's barely on the radar as far as Champions go.

Is the UFC reconsidering the Flyweight division, or will they keep it around for however long it takes to produce a draw?

HW goes first imo.

 

[piranha punch]

No.

Some baseball games are boring.

Some NFL games are boring.

Some NHL games are boring.

Life is sometimes boring. I'm of the ilk to keep going as there is a reasonable chance that things will improve.

Peace and love

Hopefully just relegated to the prelims. Nobody wants to pay $60 to watch sparing sessions.

Completely incorrect.

Not that I think flyweight will go but you are completely incorrect. HW Mma isn't going anywhere

 

[Moin]

everybody should boo them right out the UFC

It's here to stay.

I think it is, that division is a travesty. I don't care what you think.

 

[DaGenius]

I think it is, that division is a travesty. I don't care what you think.

So to be clear you think the UFC should eliminate the HW division?

If that's what you really think then I'm not concerned if you don't care what I think. That's a ridiculous notion dude.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

It constantly gets boo'd during ppv.

 

[savemgs]

maybe.

 

[Wayweary]

HW goes first imo.

Nah.

 

[effedup]

Must admit most of the fights are snoozers.

 

[Wayweary]

Yeah, it's in a bad way, TS. I think they will stick with it, though.

That fight sucked because Joe refused to engage with a guy he was way better than. He should've gone at Ali that guy wasn't gonna land anything on Benavidez because of the speed difference. This was like a GSP fight where he completely outclassed his opponent but refused to take any risks
