你对于UFC新增两个级别的看法

NAOH

Las Vegas, NV (USA) – In a media conference call today, Ultimate Fighting Championship® President Dana White announced the UFC is adding two new championship divisions at bantamweight (135lbs.) and featherweight (145lbs.), while also announcing a new television deal with the VERSUS Network to air four UFC fights in 2011.

“As the UFC continues to evolve and grow globally, we want to be able to give fans title fights in every weight division,” said White. “This is a big day for the sport and the athletes who will have the opportunity to fight on the biggest stage in the world.”

The two new divisions feature WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo who will now be recognized as the reigning UFC featherweight champion, and WEC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz. White confirmed that the winner of the Dec. 16 lightweight title fight between WEC champion Ben Henderson and top contender Anthony Pettis live on VERSUS will take on the winner of the UFC 125 main event title bout between champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. This upcoming fight will serve as a UFC lightweight title unification bout to be held next year.                                                                                                                                   

White also stated the UFC is expanding its presence on the VERSUS Network in 2011, and will increase its number of UFC events from two to four per year. Versus is scheduled to air the two remaining live WEC events in 2010 on Nov. 11 and Dec. 16. The Nov. 11 event in Las Vegas will feature “The California Kid” Urijah Faber’s debut at bantamweight as he takes on Takeya Mizugaki, while the Dec. 16 event in Glendale, Ariz. will feature Henderson-Pettis and a bantamweight title clash between Dominick Cruz and challenger Scott Jorgensen with the winner becoming the new UFC bantamweight champion.

“We have a great relationship with the VERSUS network, and we look forward to working with them to give UFC fans even more free fights in 2011,” said White.

UFC官网刚刚发布的一则重大消息，将新增两个重量级别，分别是135lbs的bantamweight以及145lbs的featherweight，此外，White同时宣布与VERSUS Network合作将会新增两档电视节目，使得常规电视节目由现在的两档变为四档。

以上，欢迎大家对于此事件发表自己的看法，比如突然新增两个级别的利弊等等。

我觉得是好事情，毕竟MMA现在越来越受到大家的关注，小级别的比赛也非常的精彩，所以我觉得增级别是UFC国际化趋势。但这对WEC应该不算是个好消息，目前的台柱子们都可能会跳到UFC，也许WEC会接管类似于TUF的节目或者网络杂志类节目也说不定呢。
铁泉好好表现吧，看来有希望了

UFC和WEC要合并了（2011年），135lbs的bantamweight和145lbs的featherweight恰好是WEC的而UFC以前没有的两个重量级别，这对WEC的选手当然是爽事...............这让我想起了前阵子在WEC打了一场的那名中国选手的未来...............................
