Fans may have been asking for a women’s flyweight division, but the Ultimate Fighting Championship went ahead with its plans to build a new weight class around featherweight star Cristiane Justino. Unfortunately for the brass, “Cyborg” was not eager to go through another brutal weight cut so soon after her last fight -- and then word got out that she may have committed another doping violation. Nonetheless, the featherweight division is here, and the organization is forced to give two career bantamweights a shot at the 145-pound crown.
For Holly Holm, the title shot in the UFC 208 headliner on Saturday in Brooklyn, New York, represents a chance for redemption.
