More than a year after confirming a flyweight division was coming soon, UFC President Dana White is expected to officially announce the anticipated 125-pound division this weekend at UFC 140 in Toronto, according to MMAFighting.
The division is expected to become the home of former bantamweight title challengers Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson and The Ultimate Fighter 14 bantamweight winner John Dodson among others.
It is not yet known when or how the UFC will crown its first flyweight champion, but White will likely share additional details when he makes the formal announcement in the coming days.
