Exploring the matches & moves to make in the UFC women’s featherweight division
At UFC 232, there was a huge upset in the women’s featherweight division when Amanda Nunes defeated Cris Cyborg via TKO in the first round to become the first woman to hold belts simultaneously in two divisions.
With the UFC not signing women at 145-pounds, it’s hard to think that they will now that Nunes holds both belts. The only true 145-pound fighters signed are Cris Cyborg, Megan Anderson, and Leah Letson. Aside from the other women who were just moving up from bantamweight, that’s your featherweight division.
If the UFC chooses to continue and create this division, we think would be amazing for the sport and women’s MMA as well. There are a few fights we would love to see and others that have to happen in order to keep the division alive.
