Great news. Some of the TUF guys that competed at BW will be in it. i'm sure Dodson wil be in and Dana  said it looks like four fighters from TPF will be invited including my favorite, "Uncle Creepy" who is sporting the best "stache" in MMA right now.

I'm not a huge fan of the tournament format but in this case I think since this weight class will be brand new they should do one to determine the first champ

Uru****ani
Vila (if they can somehow snag him from Bellator)
Dodson

I think it can work, I think theres alot of little guys that can make the new weight and they always give good shows. I still think they should put in 1 or 2 womens divisions. Women have tough fights.

i absolutely agree with having two female weight classes. 125 and 135. i saw an interview with dana and it seemed like he was suggesting he was only going to be doing this for awhile more. he said the ufc will do fine without him. to me that means there have been talks about his departure with the fertitta's which paves the way for one or two women divisions i hope.

I PRAY they don't put a women's weight class in there. I think its stupid to watch a bunch of pillow fist broads take up space where a real fight could take place.

if you want to watch pillowfists watch Mr. Pillowfists McTeatime. the woman have great battles and i like watching rousey break arms. rousey vs tate will be great when they set it up. plus there going to have santos go down to 135.

The women have terrible boring battles, they don't belong in the octagon they belong on some B-show or in the kitchen cooking me a steak.

Women are good fighters too. The only problem is theres not enough of LEGIT female fighter to make a roster.
