... are mostly just sad.
115 lb is fine. Rose and Joanna have a rivalry brewing. Claudia is an excellent fighter. Jessica Andrade, Karolina, Tecia Torres. All legit fighters.
But after that, awful.
125 has the pathetic winner of TUF as its champ (Nicco Montano). Nicco is champ solely because the only decent fighter in TUF (Sijara, who is 2-2 in her pro career) couldn't make weight for her shot at the title, so Nicco was able to decision Roxanne what's her name, who seems like a very nice person but is not a UFC-caliber fighter. They wanted Paige to be their 125 champ, but she's not even close to good enough. Valentina Schevchenko is going to drop to 125 and dominate these kids.
135 - Amanda Nunes is a beast. Valentina is the #1 contender but has lost to Amanda twice and is dropping to 125. #2 contender is Holly Holm who has been specializing in losing fights at 145 lately. #5 contender is that Germaine woman who beat Holly for the 145 lb belt, then chose retirement over fighting Cyborg. So, three of the top five challengers the UFC lists in the 135 lb class aren't actually fighting at 135.
145 - There's Cyborg, who is refusing to fight Nunes. And then there's... Well, let me let the UFC rankings explain it to you:
WOMEN'S FEATHERWEIGHT
No rankings available for this selection.
They seriously need to go back to two weight classes until there's more talent. This is ridiculous.

115, 125 and 135 will be just fine. Get the cyborg factor out of here and 145 lb dies.

I was just thinking today that the men's LHW and HW are kind of sad right now.
So sad they pretty much HAD to make DC vs Stipe cause there really isnt any legit contenders besides maybe Gus.
Honestly, IMO, the UFC in general is kind of dull right now. Outside the LW & MW divisions, what else is really exciting right now?
Now don't get me wrong, I am not going full Loco on ya'll. It's still light years better than Bellator.

Nobody wants women’s mma. A billion dollars worth of media investment behind Rhonda created the illusion of interest, but believe me women’s MMA is a net loss for UFC. There’s no way Rhonda generated as many PPV dollars as was spent on artificial buzz.

Cyrborg didnt refuse to fight Nunes. GTFO with those lies! Huh. I thought she did. I thought she said she would only fight nunes if Nunes won some fights at 145 first, much like DJ when he didn't want to fight TJ at 125. Didn't Cyborg say she wanted her next fight against Megan Anderson, not Nunes?

She definitely said she didn't want to fight Nunes.
I'm pretty sure it was purely negotiation tactic.

I'm pretty sure it was purely negotiation tactic. “I have agreed to fight Amanda Nunes on July 7 in Las Vegas as part of UFC 226 and International Fight Week,” Cyborg wrote on her Facebook page. “I am now waiting for my manager to work with the UFC on a bout agreement so we can make Cyborg vs. Nunes ‘The Super Fight' official. #CyborgNation, us versus them!” sports.yahoo.com/cris-cyborg-says-she-agreed-fight-amanda-nunes-025522234--mma.htmlTry to keep up, guys... mmmkay?

So she changed her mind? Why was she scared before? And what's changed?
Calling out Megan Anderson instead of Nunes. As the kids say... lol.

No shit sherlock. We were talking about whether or not she said she didn't want to fight Nunes.

I think she wants to get paid more when there is a chance she can't finish the fight in the first round. People keep saying Nunes is just a smaller version of her, but I think Nunes is a live dog in this fight.

People keep saying Nunes is just a smaller version of her, but I think Nunes is a live dog in this fight. Other than her fights against Schlevchenko, Nunes has looked like a beast. If you can get 2-1 or better betting Nunes as the dog, I'd jump on it. Plus, unlike Cyborg, Nunes isn't calling out freaking Megan Anderson.

I don't think they were ready to expand to 125 and 145 will never be a legit division. Cyborg has two opponents, at least, so they can co-headline a few cards with Cyborg vs Nunes and Cyborg vs Anderson, but then what?
115 has enough talent where it's fine.
Totally agree 125 is going to see Schevchenko do some serious ass kicking. Can you imagine Roxanne throwing her super slow punches at Valentina? Maybe we will see more of the 135 class drop and 125 will end up okay. Right now it's running LOW on talent.

145 hastened the UFC’s plunge in my opinion.125 and 135 women’s is it. 145 shouldn be the lowest in men’s.

Yana is a 135 lber who is 2-2-1 in her last five and will be making her UFC debut. And here I was, questioning the credibility of the 145 lb division....

I was reading the weight classes above and was wondering if you guys think we will ever see a women's heavyweight division? 145 is pretty much super HW imo. 135 is HW 125 is LHW 115 is MW 105 exists outside the ufc, will likely be in ufc one day

Isn't she way to small for WWE? Oh well, be gone with her
