The fight makes more sense anyway, two good flyweight prospects. Should be interesting...

Flyweight is quickly proving to be the most exciting division in the UFC, in my opinion. Good signing here, just a couple fighters left in the Tachi Palace promotion to scoop up, lol.

I'd like to see them add Kojima, and a few of the other Shooto guys, that'd be sweet.

Maybe throw Dustin Ortiz in the mix! I fear One FC may have the edge on signing some of the Asian Flyweights...

It was just a matter of time before Useless got the call.  Should be a fun fight.  I think Moraga is making his flyweight debut and Gomez is coming back down from BW, so the weigh ins will be something to keep an eye on.

Obviously none of you saw his fight with Mongoose. It looked like Dillishaw vs Watson. I like Gomez a lot but I don't think he's ready for top level competition. The UFC is signing him because he's marketable, plain and simple.

I don't have a problem with this except that they're overlooking a dozen other guys who are at least as deserving.
