You go deeper into the prelims than I do, though. I don't feel like I've even seen that many flyweight fights over the last several years unless it has involved DJ, Cejudo, and Joey B. I definitely haven't seen any unranked flyweights.
So if they want to keep the entire division, it's really no skin off my nose. If they get rid of it, I probably wouldn't miss it. If they want to trim it, that's fine, too.
The only way I'd feel strongly about it is if it somehow came down to having a 125lb division or the 165lb division. In that case, yeah, get rid of it immediately.
They go 50 deep in terms of rostered flyweights, at least as of November. To compare, that's about the same as the woman's 115lb division and maybe 20% less than 265 or 205lbs. I think if they rolled with about half that they could still have ranked guys and a couple prospects.
But if they end up scrapping the division, whatever. I won't lose any sleep either way.
