Respect to Conor for wishing well on the smaller guys... but he needs to be directing this to Dana White.
Chatri didn't kill the 125 division, Dana White did.
Dana White killed the 125 division, when he refused to to promote Mighty Mouse: Who was a great role model for kids everywhere. DJ - a good parent, good husband, avid gamer, responsible drinker... that didn't stir shit up enough so they never put a marketing machine behind him.
Then, Dana sends the man away after he loses for the first time in forever... and puts an end to the division. This is 100% on Dana White and UFC management
Anyways, glad Dana made room for the women's 125 division instead. Priorities....
