Flyweight has a ton of really good fighters. Just because the champion may be the best fighter ever doesn't mean everyone else sucks.

Mighty Mouse is way ahead of the game, but I never said that everyone else sucks. I'm saying there really isn't any stars or anyone making a name for themselves in the division.

First event for Cruz and he's already got a "he's got it locked in, that's a wrap... he lost it" moment although he used 4,000,000 words to say it

You said it was a relatively weak division. Compared to what other division? Not having stars doesn't mean the division is weak.

Compared to every other division.

Why do you think they're running a TUF to determine the #1 contender? There is really no arguing it, the top talent just isn't there.

Looks like Cyborg technically missed weight for this fight. Unless CABMMA allows for extra weight after the decimal point of after the 1 pound allowance.

Because the champion has beaten almost the entire division. Formiga, Benavidez, Cejudo, Reis, Horiguchi, and McCall are all really good fighters. You don't know what you're talking about.

It varies by state and I'm not sure what what Brazil does, but some jurisdictions will round to the nearest pound. Where that is the case, you really have a 1.49 pound allowance.

I wonder if he has something in his year like rogan and that explains the poo poo narratives of the latter

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
