Folks can say what they want, but the only way that these tournaments have any longevity is by targeting weight classes where the top talent are open to the opportunity and/or the belts can be found. 118 works.

That’s how i see it. It’s always easier to make tournaments with divisions that are filled with top names yet no major superstars. It is too difficult to deal with numerous divas..
118 has enough top level fighters to make it interesting.

Yeah would rather have the top fighters of an unmarketable division than sub par fighters from a good one.
I like the idea that we are finding the true king in the final like with the Cruisers
If they can get all those fighters there are some excellent fights to be made.
118 is one of those divisions where promoters often dont really know what to do with the fighters to get big money, so a tourney would be a great option for them.
Makes sense
