UFC should add at least women's flw and fw (125 and 145lbs).

Maybe even atom weight 105, but 125 and 145 should be added. Cyborg is the big star, final boss of the women and 125 will be legit soon.
 
125 definitely. 145 is way too shallow.
 
125, then maybe 105.

105 is verging on womanlet size though, not compelling.
 
It'd be great to have Cyborg as a UFC champ. Problem is that there aren't really any other featherweights.

125 is a no brainer. Stacked division.

105 has more potential than 145, which has nothing but Cyborg.

Why 125lbs? Both the divisions now are shallow they'd be even worse with a 125lbs.

The Invicta 125 roster is solid, and I'm sure they'd draw from there. And then sure, they'd get girls from the two divisions to go up or down to 125 which would be fine too. The Calderwood/Letourneau fight was terrific, you can't deny that.

some great match ups at 145 (cyborg vs holm, ronda and maybe even miesha) that girl megan anderson too... 145 is growing.

So you list 1 145er and 3 135ers who never missed weight? No one gives a shit about cyborg. She is not selling 1 ppv.

Can't deny it but it could have taken place at 115lbs.
 
The #2 female featherweight in the world just lost to Alexis Dufresne. That division is a long, long ways away from being more than just the Cyborg show.

You gotta give me more fighters than that. Coenen I'm a huge fan of but she's Bellator, along with a handful of other 145ers like Budd and Blencowe.

In Invicta, at 145, there's basically Cyborg, Anderson, Tweet, and Dandois. Then you have girls like Peggy Morgan and Jessamyn Duke, which would be a hard sell to bring back into the fold. And pass on Marina Shafir.

What if they went 115, 130, 145. If would force some 135ers up. It would those heavy 115ers a place to go and allow a place for Cyborg to dominate.
 
125 seems inevitable. There's a ton of great girls that'll fight well there. It's too soon for 145 though
 
If Bethe Correia can get a title shot at 135 there's not much room to declare 145 too shallow for the UFC. Besides, these people just parrot the opinion that 145 doesn't have legit competition, they don't actually watch the fights or understand that it can grow and get better. If the UFC builds women's divisions, the talent will come.
 
Water down the cards even more
