    Sanchez vs. Ellenberger @ UFC 141

    Sanchez above Shields in the UFC's internal rankings?

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    According to DFW, the Flyweight (125-lbs.) division is headed to the UFC before the end of 2011.

    Demetrious Johnson hasn't committed to it yet but would seem to be a natural fit. The size disadvantage last night was apparent. Joe Benevidez is another guy who would be favoured in the division.

    125-lb weight division is perfect for Johnson.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    To me the 125-lbs. division is the equivalent of a super-heavyweight division. There aren't enough good guys, with the added disadvantage of guys that size generally not having knockout power. I think it will be a short roster with infrequent fights.

    I agree with you. There isn't enough talent yet for that division.

    Some editor added these fights to the UFC 141 page but they were quickly removed. Would make for a good card if true.

    Dunno if I've mentioned this already but the Miller/Bisping fight will be five-rounds.

    DFW denies that the main event of UFC 140 is Jones/Evans... Evans won't be ready.

    Confirmed, but not until UFC 141, then they will all go back to 10.
