    The UFC is casting TUF Mexico and are looking at 115-lbs. fighters for a possible new weight class for the UFC, strawweight. Dana White foresees some issues introducing the weight class and proving it's worthwhile to UFC fans, as he did with the flyweights one year ago.

    No. Just no. 115 is just way too damn tiny.

    I think the UFC will eventually have 115 and 105. They expect an influx of pint-sized talent from Asia and Central America.

    yeah but he doesn't have to kick your ass, just that other 105er he's fighting against!
