Dana White On The UFC Flyweight Division “Hopefully, early next year”
Dana White On The UFC Flyweight Division “Hopefully, early next year” | MMA News
"The plan for a UFC flyweight division has been talked about for quite sometime, and according to Dana White, is still in the works but only for 2012, as he recently commented about the new weight division.
“Hopefully, early next year,” White told MMAWeekly about the new division coming to the UFC
And with the addition of a new division, White said he expected to see many fighters, even ones who are at the top of their divisions, drop down a weight class. We’ve seen it many times already with names like Sean Sherk, who fought as a welterweight many times, and even more recently with top ranked lightweight Kenny Florian, who has even competed as a middleweight.
“Yeah probably, that happens every time we open up a new weight division,” White commented about fighters dropping weight. “Kenny Florian fought at 185 the first season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ so yeah, you’ll see guys move down I think. You might even see guys who are world champions like Frankie Edgar move to ’45. It makes sense, not saying he is, but it would make sense.”
So with the plan to add the 125lb weight class for early 2012, will we see fighters from some of the other divisions making the move down? With a lot of fighters from the same team campaigning for title shots in the same weight class, like many members of Team Alpha Male, it’s certainly seems likely."
