The UFC has struggled to make fight fans care about the flyweight division, but John Dodson believes he's the solution to that problem.
While the 125-pound fold is lined with talented fighters and currently features one of the pound-for-pound best in the sport in Demetrious Johnson as champion, fan interest in the weight class has yet to take hold.
This especially rings true where "Mighty Mouse" is concerned, as the first and only UFC flyweight champion has continually failed in his efforts to connect with the promotion's passionate fanbase. It's unclear whether the cause of this stigma is due to a lack of push from the UFC or fans refusing to invest in the lighter weight classes, but the situation is certainly real.
