Recently, the UFC announced that the next division they intend to add is a UFC Flyweight (125 lb) division for women.

In her latest blog, Rin mentioned that she will now aim for the UFC flyweight division.
Do you think she stands a much better chance at 125 lbs?
Or will it just end up consisting of the same fighters as today's 135lb division?

She'll probably still often be out-heighted there, but yeah, should be a better fit for her.

Wondering how long that "while" will take tho...

Should probably go to 115 instead. She is very short.

4 words.....Thick as a brick

115 aint happening for Rin unless someone chops off a leg.

That might be the best picture i've seen of her.

don't you wanna see calderwood move up and lose there too?

Because she loses so often, right?

slating a guy because he likes a fighter who has one loss on her record.....yet you have the biggest fraud in the whole org as your avi......:icon_lol:

JJ or Miesha will rule that division

great weight for Kish too

I don't really see how someone could get excited over them adding a women's 125 lb. division. It'd mostly make WSW and WBW weaker and it's not like the match makers are doing a bang up job of keeping those divisions moving(WBW moreso).

Three UFC women's division wouldn't work out, one would need to be dissolved imo.

Added sources to the original post.

Thanks. I heard the rumor but it looks like this is definitely happening.

Sweet now we have another flyweight division where the fighters cant finish a fight ...

 

[battouter]

for 3 weight classes to work in the ufc. they need to restructure the weight limit for each of them. no point fucking having the same weight limit as men's, especially now that ronda has lost. we can move forward and legitimize the women's division and do them right by having them fight in their natural weight class and not bloat up to make their hyped up sham of a champion look good.

Division will be shallow as fuck

 

[dogen]

Someone could argue: she would be outweighed even at 125, she doesn't have the killer instinct and the hunger of a champion, she is monodimensional and would need a top-class camp, her stand-up is limited to "shadowboxing with Shinto invisible spirits", and so on.
But I see remarkable judo skills and a granite chin.
Implement a solid "chop the leading leg" kick that would send her opponent limping and flopping à la Alberto Mina after a couple of rounds.

Humble and polite, she could be back cartwheeling and backflipping after a win, like she used to in Japan.
And most of all, watch out for a possible finish suplexing after suplexing an unfortunate flyweight.

Nah, just dont lift as much weight. Very easy stuff.

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

We were so close to having Rin's awful fanbase go the hell away, this is sad news indeed.

 

[Kwic]

I hope she fights soon, and wins. That's all. Muahh muaah.

 

[Cooliox]

the space between her and her opponents are totally going to be fucked when she throws her air-combos with refined speed.
