This is also fine, but it makes it seem even more stupid they let Letourneau walk

She was a fun scrapper and it seemed like her weight cuts were destroying her potential at 115, always wanted to see her at 125 and she even said she asked for her release due to there being no 125 division on the horizon.

I thought the fight against calderwood was at 125 and she got smashed.

125 division will be alright as long as they dont push too many crappy fights between girls who are 1-4 in their last 5 onto the main card of PPVs because they feel like they have to build up the division

i would rather have a male 115 pound division than a female 125 pound division. how many lightweights are there on the roster? over a hundred I'm pretty sure. how many female 125ers? you can't name more than six right now.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Miesha Tate could unretire for 125. She was always said to be a flyweight who had to do bantam, and would be even more strong against smaller women. Miesha v JJ?

gently caress no, I can barely name two.

But they must have analysed it and figured there's the depth of talent they can scoop off the top of the B- through Z- leagues to make it work. Sign the top half of the TUF roster and go from there.

Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit and this will be W145 only worse.

If anything Ronda would be good at 125 and having her at a new weight class would be one of the more credible excuses to bring her back out of the woods and give her an instant title shot

I'd prefer Miesha as she can take a punch and scrap that would make a five round JJ mauling intensely fun. Ronda trying to strike with JJ? No one needs to see that.

Can you name more than six adult male 115ers right now, on earth?

They'd never give up racing trained horses to become a trained horse in another sport. Maybe at least six of the hundred lightweights can make their way four weight classes down to 115.

I always laugh when friends who are about a chubby 170 lbs are like "lol 135 pounds??" when if they lost their gut and got in shape theyd be 150 and could cut to 135

115 is pushing it though

A contest to decide who gets throttled by a bigger, better hydrated Joanna Champion sounds like a mixed bag. I'm sorry, Joanna Double Champion.

W125 will be a way better division than W145 and exponentially better than light heavyweight, a division which only exists because Tito Ortiz had too large a skull to make a normal weight like 190 pounds.

A true renaissance man


Jennifer Maia, Vanessa Porto, Valerie Letourneau, Roxanne Modiferri, and Andrea Lee are five off the top of my head. I can think of the faces but not the names of four more. Shannon Sinn is a 125er but she's not very good - I only remember her because she has a recognizable name and weird eyes. Jessica Eye will probably go to 125, as will Jojo. Jessica Andrade could end up there, too.
