Crystal Ball Says: Featherweight in UFC

It seems that with the talks of Urijah Faber and Kid yamamoto coming to the UFC, UFC is setting up the ranks for a 145lb division.

My Crystal balls says "TBA before the year is over"

Anyones else getting that same thing?

I thought I heard Rogan talking about the UFC seriously considering a 145lb division and possibly even a 135lb division.

Yea he was discussing it during the Tyson Griffin - Frankie Edgar fight.

Yeah well WEC already has those divisions stacked up and ready to move over.
I think it is a good move honestly, there are TONS of small guys that wrestle, Thai Box and do BJJ. It would be pure $.

I think it is a very smart thing for the UFC to do.

Plus I like watching those little guys fight! Forget Super HW's! Those fat bastards need a diet!

hey the more divisions the more title shots we get per ppv and hey if the division sucks then maybe we get a title defense on a ufn

i think it depends on how big of a draw the lightweight division begins. right now sherk isn't going to headline any ppvs alone and neither are any other lightweights in UFC. but if the current lw division works out as good as i hope it does, then we just might see one.

All energy should be put into including knees, stomps, and soccer kicks (as Pride does) before any other changes, of any kind are made.

Nothing else is relevant at this point. Death to kiddie mma.

Just watch PRIDE then, your input is totally useless. Lower weight classes should be brought in as long as the talent is there to do so, but I don't see it happening this year.

If Zuffa buys PRIDE, it would make sense for them to incorporate WEC's fighters into the UFC and make PRIDE the competition.

Will never happen because of the states athletics commison, only way the UFC would have those rules is if they made there home in another country which i don see happening because ufc's main fanbase is in north america,eventho i would LOVE to see it.

I think the ufc should add two new weight classes, Featherweight and super Heavyweight. FW could be 135-150 and SHW could be like 240-275 or sumthing.

There could be some serious competiton at FW with faber,kid,guillard and posibily kenflo.

SHW would be perfect for tim sylvia an the other big HW's and this means we would probably see a faster more excting HW champ
