Notable Info
- Donald Cerrone took our lineal Lightweight championship last night with his win over Eddie Alvarez.
- The Men’s Strawweight lineal championship as we recognize it, changed hands over the weekend with Yoshitaka Naito’s defeat of Shinya Murofushi. Rambaa Somdet has not fought within the confines of this lineal division since October 2011 and it appears he’s done with the division, if not the sport.
- Although TUF fights are being counted, it has been our policy not to shift divisions for fighters competing in TUF as historically, many fighters have competed outside of their typical division and pro non-exhibition fights take precedence. This explains why Penne & Ellis remain in the 105 division, as this is the division in which they competed prior to TUF. However, due to the importance of this TUF as it pertains to the 115 landscape, we may re-visit this decision in the coming weeks. We welcome feedback.
