The MMA landscape is set to change once again when the UFC adds a second women’s weight class – the talent-rich 115-pound strawweight division – to its roster in 2014. UFC President Dana White announced the news on Dec. 11 and confirmed the division will launch during “The Ultimate Fighter 20,” which begins filming in May. Unlike in past seasons of the long-running show in which winners earned trophies and six-figure contracts with the UFC, the “TUF 20” victor will be crowned the first UFC women’s strawweight champion. A total of 16 women will compete on the show, and 11 have already been named. All 11 fighters come to the UFC after having their contracts transferred from Invicta FC
