Just checked his record, why does everyone have Mamoru ranked ahead of him if Kojima's beat him twice.

Aside from Mamoru having an awesome fro, hes been fighting while BJ wasnt. Yamaguchi was set to fight Dodson before Dodson pulled out.

Chad Robichaux - Top 5 Flyweight

Chad Robichaux 
Just fought at 125lbs in the co-main event of legacy FC in hd net and took a 0:51 second sub win over UFC vet Joseph Sandoval. 
Chad "Robo" is 12-2 with 11 subs and 9 in round 1. 
He is a StrikeForce and Bellator Veteran and 3-0 at flyweight. 1 was a 130lb bout in StrikeForce. 
He was also the bantamweight champ for Legacy FC. 
Currently trains with Randy Couture and has a black belt in BJJ from Carlos Gracie Jr.  He is the most experienced and well rounded flyweight in the world... Would love to see him get a good Tapology ranking for flyweight! 
Expect to see him get a UFC signing soon.

I'm betting Ulysses Gomez could beat a lot of the guys on these lists. Some other flyweights to watch out for are Sean Santella, Sotaro Kojima, Artemij Sitenkov, Seiji Ozuka, Liang Yang and Gilberto Dias.

Montague is the only guy I can see giving Benavidez a fight.

@StealingFire I agree about Gomez...only problem is his last fight was at 135 so we don't have the option to rank him as a flyweight

I would consider putting Gomez anywhere from 7-12, FLW is definitely the hardest weightclass to rank since many of the top fighters only have a fight or 2 at the weightclass and not many of them have faced each other yet

Until the actual #1 Flyweight in the world loses a fight I'll keep him #1!

McCall is my undisputed #1, it's no question really. He holds the best wins in the division and has a recent draw that shouldn't have been a draw. I'm with SoccerKick, until McCall loses he is my #1.

Two of the top 125ers in Japan will face off when Kiyotaka Shimizu defends his Pancrase title against Yuki Yasunaga. Not sure who i'm picking yet but it should be a close fight. If Yasunaga wins I don't see much for him in Pancrase and since he started off in Shooto I wouldn't mind him going back there to fight one of their top guys.
