With a potential flyweight division on the horizon, it seems as if the UFC and ZUFFA are already trying to familiarize their fan base with a few of their fighters. The hope is that it takes off quickly and gains as much popularity as the bantamweights and featherweights already have.
This season of the Ultimate Fighter (14) features several fighters who have fought at 125 lbs. in the past. They are clearly being put on display for fans to recognize after the season is over and the division is created.
With the popularity these fighters are getting based off the show, fighters that can easily cut from the bantamweight division and ZUFFA’S willingness to spend money on some of the very best fighters from outside companies, we could see a flyweight division debuting sooner than later.
Here we take a look at 10 fighters who could make up the potential division—with a bit of a spin. These are my personal predictions on where we’ll see the flyweight division six months after its conception.
