We continue the “Prospects the UFC Should Sign” series, which will take us division by division, looking at the top prospects that should be signed by the UFC.
Currently the least-employed but possibly most exciting division in the UFC, the flyweight division is in dire need of some depth and roster additions to survive. A reason they may be short on fighters is because of the recent addition and focus on women’s MMA with the company.
The division is firmly under the control of champion Demetrious Johnson, who has staved off all comers. There are some tough guys in the division, including Joseph Benavidez, Ian McCall, John Dodson and Jussier da Silva.
Here are five flyweight prospects that the UFC should sign to build the division from its fountation.
Note: There was no top-five ranking for this weight division last year.
