With the success of the addition of both featherweight and bantamweight divisions, the UFC has acted quickly to capitalize on this sensation with a new weight class: flyweight. This will see 125-pounders pitting their skills against one another.
This expansion throws up many interesting dynamics. What fighters do the UFC import, and which fighters will move down from bantamweight. Many believe that the UFC’s smaller fighters at bantamweight, such as Joseph Benavidez, Scott Jorgenson and Demetrious Johnson, will flourish in this new weight division.
Here, I will introduce some of the world’s greatest fighters at 125lbs, who Dana White should look to sign.
Honorable mentions that didn’t make the grade include Yuki Shojo, Ulysses Gomez, John Dodson and former Olympic bronze-medallist wrestler Alexis Vila.
