SEATTLE – For Dana White, dealing with the lighter weight classes, in particular the flyweight division, seems like a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t proposition. If the UFC puts the 125-pound weight class on display in the main event, as it did Saturday night with UFC on FOX 8, the promotion’s president often is met with questions of why he thinks the flyweights can attract enough attention to carry a card. But do something like make them the co-main event on a pay-per-view just below a Jon Jones title fight, as was the case at UFC 152 this past September, and he hears about that, too. Why doesn’t he think the flyweights are good enough to headline a big card?
