Personally, the flyweight division is my favorite weightclass in MMA. In terms of skillset, the division is mostly high-level athletes. With the heavyweight and light-heavyweight fighters, having knockout power and athleticism is usually enough to succeed. At 125, even the guys at the bottom of the division are still super fast, explosive, athletic, and mainly skilled.
The division was nearly extinct at one point, but in the last few years, it’s developed greatly. We got a new UFC flyweight champion in Josh Van, who brings much-needed change and youth to the division. As you viewers continue with this feature, you will read about 10 flyweights the UFC should bring in to strengthen the division even more.
