I really think this will happen this coming year...
There are so many great fighters at that weight. Guys I manage alone:
Sean Sherk (28-2-1)
Rich Clementi (23-9-1)
Roger Huerta (12-1-1)
Spencer Fisher (15-1)
Jorge Gurgel (9-1)
and...
Jens Pulver (19-6-1)
Seems like the time really might be now for that division to come back and possible take right off with the talent available.

How hard of drop is that for Sherk??
Sean says he's walking at 167 when in shape... cutting to 155 is going to be easy.

WOW! I didn't realize he was walking around that low. I know he's pretty short but man he still looks huge.... There is no doubt he'd be a major force in that division. Of course the whole division is full of STUDS. Definately one of the more exciting weight classes.

How in Blue hell can Sherk make 155, He's ripped to hell as is.
BTW I want to see Yves and Din fight. Guess who I'm rooting for?
TTT for the 155class. The most exciting fighters in the sport.
Monte,
I thought Jens just singed a deal with Pride? I would love to see him fight in the UFC again.
TTT for Team Extreme
155 is a great weight class.
Genki Sudo would rule this weight class..

Bring back the light weights, I love watching those friggin energizer bunnies going at it.
I find it painfully frustrating that Zuffa does not have a 155 division.
there are so many high caliber fighters at 155 that UFC and Bushido could both have great shows.
