Here's the entry at 411Mania.com for my column, MMA Analytics, for the week of the 14th. The article revolves around the notion that the Welterweight division is in danger of having the same fate that the Middleweight division has been having... a dominant champion that nobody can touch. Fortunately for the UFC, Henderson stepped down to take on Silva. Is there relief for the Welterweights? Find out in this article:
With Georges St. Pierre's recent win over Matt Hughes, it seems that Pierre has become a dominant opponent for nearly everyone in the Welterweight division. This poses problems of who will be able to matchup against Pierre in the future, much like the situation with Anderson Silva at Middleweight. We'll look at the current situation in the Welterweight division, comparisons to the Middleweights, and fixes that the UFC can implement to reclaim a challenging upper tier of matchups for the division. All of that and more in this edition of MMA Analytics.
