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

[tenniswhiz]

C'mon MM....
You already cleaned out most of the division.
How about a little story line and hype with a new guy?

Nobody is paying 59.95 to watch Mouse vs Benevediez again. In fact, they should Mouse come and visit TUF house and talk smack.

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.

Most people don't want to watch the flyweights at all. Even Mighty Mouse. Why they would think anyone would want to watch them on TUF is beyond me. I think they'll need a lot more than that to drum up interest.

If this was happening in one of the men's divisions I'd be pissed but it's not so I don't care

As a 5'6" guy I shouldn't laugh but I did

Gives time for the talent in the division to develop instead of rushing guys in like they did with horiguchi.

I'm into it.

Meh. You really can't go right or wrong with a FLW contender as long as Mighty Mouse keeps winning. This isn't the worst idea.

From a business perspective it doesn't matter who Mighty Mouse fights it's going to be low buy rates .

there is no interest in the division and they are using it as an opportunity to bring more home grown names to the division - the way to sell it is that the winner gets a UFC title shot - doesnt seem like DJ has any name value in their minds
