Justin Scoggins is moving to a new home.
As BloodyElbow.com reported earlier, Scoggins pulled out of his UFC 201 pay-per-view matchup against veteran Ian McCall due to weight-cutting issues. After this, the current UFC flyweight contender has decided to permanently move up to the bantamweight division. His father, Chris Scoggins, confirmed the news to BloodyElbow.com on Thursday evening.
"No more 125 – never. [Scoggins is] done with 125. Bantamweight only," Chris said. "Look out, [UFC bantamweight champion Dominick] Cruz."
Scoggins (11-2) is currently riding a two-fight winning streak, with impressive unanimous decision wins over Ray Borg and Josh Sampo.
