The first five I feel are pretty straight forward. The last 5 I have no clue.

Tome is now available (never heard of him before, but nice record... thanks for bringing him up).

Dodson is a 135er until he actually signs to go to 125.

I'm shocked how may of you have McCall above D Johnson and Benavidez, i think they both take him easily.

This is all I could come up with.  It really doesn't matter, as Benevidaz is gonna run this division.

i think that out of every 10 fights, Benavidez and Mighty Mouse would trade 50/50....

@bklettke I expect either Benavidez or Johnson will become champ, however since they haven't actually fought at 125 yet I felt like I should at least give some respect to Uncle Creepy who has been active at the weight.

I can't argue that @gregory - i'm so stoked for this divisional tourney to finally start and i hope to see these lighter guys getting the respect and attention that the LHW's and HW's get, i find them much more exciting....

And Merry X-mas to me, i've been playing alot of catch up  to get my friggin Brown Belt, damn work for screwing me this summer, or i'd be one of the first 20 Black Belts....

Only ones I can rank because they've actually fought at flyweight unlike Mighty Mouse and Benavidez (to my knowledge at least).

I do rankings every month, top 20 for Men's HW-FLW, Women's FW-STRW. So, I will post my rankings off Tapology, then on the site. Mighty Mouse and Benavidez are not ranked yet, however, I feel that Johnson will be one and Joseph two when it's all said and done.

Basically, you've got the top 5 established flyweights.  Then you've got Benavidez and Demetrious.  After that it's kind of a no man's land. It should be cool to how the division develops over the next couple of years.

He was a top flyweight in Jpaan but got injured and was out for a long time.
