View Full Version : Official Flyweight Discussion Thread
First off, if anyone doesn't like this thread or doesn't care about flyweights, then fine, fuck you.
With that out of the way. . .
Anyone got thoughts on the tournament? I've been doing a bit of research. I think MM probably beats McCall and Benavidez beats Urushitani. Then Benavidez beats MM to become the first ever UFC flyweight champion.
Thoughts?

He won't be number one for long I suspect. I see Benavidez taking that four man tournament and the title home with him. I honestly don't think McCall gets past Mighty Mouse to be honest.
I think we'll be seeing a few other guys drop from 135 like John Dodsen, Scott Jorgensen, Kenny Florian when he gets that kyle maynard surgery done, and maybe even Mizugaki.
Flyweight Profile:
Name: Yasuhiro Urushitani
Age: 35
Height: 5’5”
Record: 19-4-6
Defining Characteristics: Well-rounded. Slanty eyes. Ranked #3 by Sherdog. Current Shooto 123 lb. champion. Impressive record. Just defended his Shooto championship by knocking a dude out with a head kick and punches.
[This is where the Urushitani vs Shojo headkick KO vid would go if the dude who posted it hadn't gotten his account deleted.)

I agree.

Dodson was actually ranked #9 at flyweight by SD before he went on TUF. Gaudinot was ranked #10. I imagine they'll both be dropping back down.

Gaudinot will be happy to get away from guys like Johnny Bedford I bet. He got straight prison raped by that dude.

^^ Bol, I got the vid from the grappling forum on SD.
I read some of that thread. SD is so damn stupid, I couldn't get past page 3. LOL at the guys getting offended at the term 'midget'. Might want to retire from the internet.
This thread is the most important one on the forum.
Dude, if you don't know, I'm not gonna tell you.

Okay. Well TTT is the old school--some might say outmoded--way of bumping a thread. It means "to the top."
