Ranking the fight divisions in the UFC

Joanna is one fight away from clearing a very thin division

#9 Flyweight

DJ and Dodson will face off for a second time but there isn’t much happening below that

Demetrious Johnson has already cleared out this division once. He is one fight away from clearing it out for a second time. John Dodson, who has already been beaten by the flyweight champion, will get a rematch this September. For the sake of this division, it will perhaps be better if Dodson wins, or they put on a barnburner of a fight.

The number 2 ranked flyweight, Joseph Benavidez has already been beaten by Johnson twice before. This isn’t the most glamorous of divisions despite boasting of arguably the best pound for pound fighter as its champion. Dodson is a worthy challenger who pushed DJ to the limit last time. He will have to put on the fight of his life to become champion. Beyond the top three, prospects are bleak. Everybody has already lost to DJ, Dodson and Benavidez and the three of them seem to be destined for a long tussle among themselves for the title.
