If you enjoy watching Cris “Cyborg” Justino compete inside the Octagon for the UFC, you might want to make sure to tune in this weekend for UFC Fight Night 95.
According to UFC president Dana White, the promotion is not planning on adding a featherweight division – or any other for that matter – in the near future.
“Obviously it’s been very popular and the women have done very well, but as far as the expansion I think it’s inevitable as the sport continues to grow,” White said in an interview with Globo. “But no plans in the near future, no.”
Justino, the current Invicta FC featherweight champion, made her long-awaited UFC debut at 140 pounds recently. Her fight with Lina Lansberg in the main event this weekend will also be at that weight.
White did mention that 115 pounds could be the next division to come into play if there is expansion.
“As far as a heavier division, no I don’t see that happening,” White said. “I don’t see that happening any time soon, but the 115-pound division continues to get bigger.”
