In ten short days the UFC will be crowning it’s very first flyweight champion. Joseph Benavidez will face off against Demetrious Johnson at UFC 152 in Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Even with the addition of the flyweight division, most probably don’t know who most of these fighters are. Many of them had to fight in higher weight classes, or they had to fight in the lower organizations just to fight at this weight.
Originally it was thought that September’s UFC 152 would be headlined by a welterweight bout between B.J. Penn and Rory MacDonald. The UFC though would put those rumors to rest this weekend as they announced two new bouts (including a title fight) that will be sitting atop the UFC 152 fight card at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre.
Since we are now one month removed from Christmas, I didn’t think I would have to think about elves until next December. Bryan “The Angry Elf” Lashomb is making me change that thought, however. On February 4th fans will see the undefeated pro take a giant leap up in competition as he fights for the vacant Flyweight title at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 13, in Atlantic City, NJ.
