Dragging in B level fighters in TUF and putting a belt on the winner has literally never been a good idea to launch a new weight class. And when the UFC did it with the women’s flyweight division, they probably created the least-deserving champion ever.

Neither Nicco Montaño or Roxanne Modafferi had any business competing in a UFC title fight, and everyone with any knowledge of MMA already knew that Valentina Shevchenko would claim the flyweight throne as soon as she got the opportunity. Which of course happened, as Montano was later stripped of the belt due to inactivity causing Shevchenko to defeat Joanna Jedrzejzcyk to win the belt a year later.
