UFC to Announce Flyweight Division This Weekend E-mail
National MMA News

By: King Eddie

WEC.010_t653The UFC is expanding yet again. Dana White has said that he will officially announce the UFC's 125 lb Flyweight Division this weekend.

"It's happening," he said. "I told you guys it's happening, and it's happening."

The Pres of the organization mentioned months ago that he was adding the division, but many didn't realize how soon and how fast he would pull the trigger. It is suspected that after the wild success of the smaller weight classes on The Ultimate Fighter 14, White realized that the time was now and he must strike while the iron was hot.

"If anything proved how awesome the small guys are it was this season of 'The Ultimate Fighter,'" White said. "How about the finale? The finale was incredible. Diego's (fight) was probably the best one-round fight I've ever seen, and Dodson was just incredible."

The division is expected to bring in more international competitors from all over the world, including more Hispanic and Asian fighters. Also, there is to be a considerable amount of Bantamweight fighters expected to make the drop, in order to fight at their natural weight.

"I'm not moving down anybody down," White said. "Those guys can make the decisions themselves, what weight division they want to fight in. But I have a feeling that 125-pound division is going to be as nasty as (155) and (170). There's going to be a lot of talent there."
