LOS ANGELES — Cris Cyborg has been beating the drum hard on social media for the UFC to make a 145-pound division for her to fight in. It's hard to blame her.
The promotion has been asking her to make 140 for catchweight fights and the weight cuts have been draining. There's even a petition out there online asking for signatures for a women's featherweight division in the UFC.
Critics of a 145-pound weight class, though, have said there just isn't enough talent there to warrant an entire UFC division. Count Miesha Tate, the former UFC women's bantamweight champion, among those who feel that way.
