BREAKING: We're hearing the #UFC men's flyweight division is 100% being dissolved, likely done by the end of 2018.
THE KICKER: Not all flyweights are being asked to move up to bantamweight. They're just getting cut. Unreal.
We'll update you as we receive more info.

Im the 1st to be let go. I didnt get to finish my UFC contract with 2 fights left because they are cutting most of my division n not giving some of us a chance to bump up n prove ourselves like myself. So now it’s time to move on to bigger and better things. Good luck small guys!

前Titan FC Flyweight 及 Bantamweight冠軍Jose “Shorty” Torres在Twitter上,公布自己被UFC解約,並透露UFC將會逐步取消Flyweight量級。內容簡單翻譯如下:
我是第一個被放棄的。 我不能完成我剩下兩場的UFC合同,因為他們正在大幅削減我的量級,而不是讓我們中的一些人有機會提升自己,就像我一樣。 所以現在是時候轉向更大更好的事情了。 祝大家好運!
Jose “Shorty” Torres
Josee Torres曾是Titan FC 的Flyweight及Bantamweight,但他卻仍然無法取得升級至135磅作賽的機會。他在其他訪問中亦提及,自己早在Demetrious Johnson轉到ONE FC時便已拍片指出UFC將會取消量級,他認為UFC因此而率先把自己革退。
