“That was the reason I didn’t like it,” O’Brien said, “I just didn’t feel like you needed enough skill.”

WEC matchmaker Sean Shelby shares a portfolio of fighters looking to fight in the 155-pound division with UFC matchmaker Joe Silva.
Since this past March, the lightweight division remains the only weight class in which the two Zuffa, LLC-owned promotions share a common division. Why the overlap?
In a recent interview with MMAjunkie.com Radio, Shelby said the 155-pound division is a necessary tool to keep fans invested in the UFC’s lighter-weighted sibling.
