Dana White: UFC has ‘no plans in the near future’ to add new women’s divisions

Cris Cyborg will continue to be a catchweight fighter. Others calling for a UFC flyweight division will have to wait, too.

UFC president Dana White told Brazil's Globo recently that there is nothing on the horizon with regards to the promotion adding new weight classes for women. Currently, the UFC only has two divisions for females: bantamweight (135 pounds) and strawweight (115).

"Obviously it's been very popular and the women have done very well, but as far as the expansion I think it's inevitable as the sport continues to grow," White said.
