Report: UFC will dissolve men’s flyweight division, likely by end of 2018

The UFC men’s flyweight division has largely failed to gain traction since it formed in 2012, and now it looks as if the weight class won’t be a part of the promotion’s plans for 2019.

Multiple outlets are reporting that the UFC is going to bring down the curtain on men’s 125. Combate made note of this on Wednesday, while FloCombat adds that we may see some fighters on the flyweight roster just outright released instead of pushed up to bantamweight.
