The division shouldn't be cut, if you watch boxing or wrestling you know that there's plenty of worldwide talent at 125lbs in regards to combat sports. It's the UFCs fault for never prioritizing it and kidding themselves about non Brazilian Latin American talent in general because of how desperate they are to penetrate the Spanish speaking market, plenty of good Flyweight fighters to be signed in places like Russia and Kazakhstan.
Crazy to me that Lineker couldn't keep making weight he was a great Flyweight and is still a great Bantamweight. Then Kyoji and Mighty Mouse were let go because the UFC didn't want to pay them as much money as other promotions were willing to. Then they invested in Cejudo as the face of Flyweight and he left the division and retired shortly after. Oh and Askar Askarov just left the sport?
Flywieght how felt cursed and the UFC definitely beats its own child in the sense see of 125lbs but Albazi, Nicolau, Mokaev and Taira are legit, young, exciting world class guys. Hopefully there's more to come. Would be so cool if we still had Kyoji and Mighty Mouse at the very least.
