This past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 104, UFC strawweight Bec Rawlings lost to Tecia Torres via unanimous decision. Following the loss, and an unsuccessful weight cut which resulted in 20% of her purse being handed to her opponent, Bec “Rowdy” Rawlings has decided to leave the 115lbs strawweight division behind.

After the fight, Rawlings took to Instagram to break the news of her departure from the division.

“Sums up my night. Great fight, Tecia Torres. Thanks everyone that tuned in and supported me! Goodbye 115, it’s been real.”



After more time had passed by, she posted another message.

“We may not of won but we sure as hell put on a show ??? I love my team @alliancemmagym ❤ #alliancemma #ufc #youwinoryoulearn”

Bec Rawlings has been very vocal about the UFC needing to add a flyweight division. However, there is currently no sign of that division being added. Could Bec be making a move to bantamweight, or does she know something we don’t yet know?
