Once a weight class that didn’t have enough fighters to fill a top-15, Dana White has credited UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard for rebuilding the men’s flyweight division.
White’s comments come after this past weekend’s UFC 256 event, where flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno fought to a majority draw in arguably the greatest flyweight title fight ever. Both men made quick turnarounds for the event after fighting just 21 days prior at UFC 255.
Talking at the post-fight press conference, White gave all the credit to longtime matchmaker Maynard for reconstructing the division and making it one of the most exciting in the UFC.
