By Michael Ford Subscribe to Articles by Michael Ford

This division is under construction, as Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson are the favorites to fight for the brand new Flyweight Championship, but first they’ll need to get past newcomers Yasuhiro Urishitani and Ian McCall, respectively. TUF 14 winner John Dodson and Darren Uyenoyama round out this group, which is expected to grow by leaps and bounds over the next couple of months.
