Dana White told reporters that the promotion has decided that all main-event non-title bouts – whether on pay-per-view, Spike TV or Versus – will now be scheduled as five-rounders.
The new changes will not apply to any currently scheduled bouts, such as UFC 133’s Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis fight, or UFC on Versus 5’s Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle match.
Dana White said that the new 125-pound flyweight division could come “like, really soon,” possibly by year’s end.
