UFC is adding a flyweight women's division, champ will be crowned on next season of TUF. Maybe.

Lol @ them doing this only after Bellator made a bunch of signings to their division

 

[Roman Brady]

While the Twitter was loading I was rubbing my fingers thinking it was something news worthy. This is a dud

Waterson's best weight is 105, having the biggest 115'ers leave to the 125 division should help her out staying put at 115 though.

Does Joanna move up to claim two titles?

Does Joanna nice up to claim two titles?

I'm 90% sure I heard her say she'd want to be a two division champ if it was possible (around the time when Holly/GDR for a 145 title was announced), so I'm thinking she'd go for it. My guess is there's time for her to take on Andrade and Rose before the 125 division is fully established since they're going the TUF route. That oughtta set up a nice situation where Joanna could move right into the title picture...assuming she keeps winning because even though I still take her over the last few contenders; the gap has closed a bit imo.

While this move (if true) has been met with praise and is probably better for the majority of the current 115ers look at the names of ppl screaming it's praises Lauren murphy? Becca fukin rawlings? Fukin trash city.. Even Joanne calderwood bless her but she's proved she's not elite and it had nothing to do with size..

You got a FW division of like 2 ppl one of which the champion who is petrified of cyborg. Then you have this news which basically dilutes the SW division I genuinely hope its premature, without that zuffa iron fist all these moves are just publicity stunts to sell an event or show, there is no real grassroots movement to develop something substantial

I know bellator signed several flyweight prospects from what I'm heard too
