Mighty Mouse on TUF 24 title shot - "That's kind of messed up for current Flyweights"

Just trying to drum up interest in the show and add a bit of a twist. If they did this with a division teeming with top contenders, I'd be more upset.
 
Agree with Mighty Mouse but it's a weak division and the UFC marketing machine needs to stir the waters if it's going to tap that TUF well one more time
 
I think the best fighters in the UFC have had their title shots already, some multiple shots. This way they don't need to make 100 rematches of fighters that weren't even close. Also the winner would have been built up already through TUF. Most of the time the winners end up being pretty good anyways and winning that much isn't an easy road anyways.
 
After Cejudo it was probably between Scoggins, Nguyen, Smolka, or Benavidez III. Maybe there will be time for one to get in before December.

Agreed totally. This whole thing doesn't really make a ton of sense to me.

Why do these guys deserve a title shot over say Bendavidez? Or Wilson Reis? How do they deserve it more than even Scoggins, Smolka, or Nguyen?

It really is messed up, all these guys have been working to get that shot.
Agreed especially on Scoggins, Smolka, Nguyen. This is clearly a case of Dana not caring about FLW or MM Johnson. If they were going to so this format again it makes sense to do it here since there is not a clear contender. I for one need to see Scoggins/Johnson. Scoggins looked otherworldly against Borg.
 
Can the Flyweight contenders just fight on the show? Would bring them a bit more exposure and be a better tournament that way
 
ufc has around 25-30 flyweights under contract. With this they get to beef the division up signifcantly with 16 new guys if they bring them all back, and it also allows time for guys like Scoggins to make a real case for a title shot instead of getting rushed.

Because nobody gives F about those fights. I like the idea of TUF winner get a title shot, title eliminator shot.
 
Not really

Most of them don't even belong in the ufc
 
Just get rid of the the Flyweight division and have a mandatory MM - Cruz match up. Ben is the most deserving but do we really need that fight a 3rd time?

Why? Because the guy is dominating the division? Did anyone say lets get rid of middleweight when Anderson was on his streak?
 
It's fine, it's a week division that needs more contenders. It's not like this will really delay the division
 
It all depends on who winds up on this show. If he ends up fighting someone like Adriano Moraes or Magomed Bibulatov, then it's better than Smolka or Nguyen. Also gives the UFC more time to build up a legit contender like Scoggins.
 
Weak division. Any other division and id be pissed.
