Yep, absolutely this - Valerie Letourneau (cutting down) and Velentina Shevchenko (fighting up) are just two examples.  Plus 125 has a much deeper talent pool outside of the UFC.

OK that's... interesting I guess.  Why makes you say it'll become the most popular division?  If anything I'd expect the opposite: I think it'll be the least active division by far in the company, and they might even abandon it after a few years.

And Rousey doesn't need an excuse not to fight Cyborg - Rousey is the draw there.  She has the power, she doesn't have to fight anyone she doesn't want to.  I don't think there's many people (your good self excluded, obv) even pushing for that fight any more.  It was only really a thing when Ronda was short on other options, and when there was a real question over who'd win.

Plus all that aside, I don't even think Rousey-Cyborg would have that much sporting merit in this scenario.  If (big if) Rousey and Holm both win the respective titles then Rousey absolutely WOULD have a good reason not to fight Cyborg: Holm would be the champion, and having Rousey fight Cyborg at 145 when she could be fighting Holm at 145 for the title would be patently stupid.  You don't pass up the opportunity for a champion-v-champion match.
