As Fightsport.com first reported last year, the UFC has no plans to ever crown a lightweight champion again, and will most likely drop the lightweight division in the future.
The UFC continues to prove our scoop correct when they announced that the Yves Edwards vs. Josh Thompson fight scheduled for UFC 49 will not be for the vacant lightweight title as was previously speculated.
lol, why would they stay if no title was at stake? It'd be idiotic, esp if K1 does make titles for their mma divisions. Those guys could just competer there, in Shooto, and Pancrase.
I'm a huge fan of the UFC, but their actions over the last couple of years have made me wonder about my allegiance.
