The Ultimate Fighting Championship 's light heavyweight division has become a disjointed mess over the last few years. The reasons behind the swoon are numerous, from the out-of-Octagon antics of Jon Jones to the injuries of Daniel Cormier . Their issues left the division in a state of limbo, as the consensus top two fighters at 205 pounds have not competed against each other since they first met nearly three years ago. However, things are finally starting to change. While Jones and Cormier are set to square off again at UFC 214 in July, the rest of the division has had the chance to reset. Despite the fact that 205 pounds remains one of the promotion's weakest divisions, a few leaders have begun to emerge from the pack; some old contenders have rebuilt themselves, and a few new entrants have made the move toward title contention. Four of those men will have a chance to improve their position in the light heavyweight pecking order at UFC Fight Night 109 this Sunday at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. Of those competing, Misha Cirkunov could be the most exciting.

The New York State Athlete Commission has taken a few steps to ensure that there will be no repeat of the Daniel Cormier towel-grabbing incident at future weigh-ins for mixed martial arts and boxing events. At UFC 210 weigh-ins on April 7, Cormier initially tipped the scales at 206.2 pounds ahead of his light heavyweight title defense against Anthony Johnson . Minutes later, "DC" checked in at 205 pounds on the nose, but he appeared to push down on the towel held in front of him, which could have manipulated the reading on the scale. Cormier claimed to be unaware of such a trick. "I didn't want you guys to see my junk," Cormier said. "What does doing that do? I don't understand. It's not something I've done before. I just wanted to make sure I didn't show my junk." Regardless Cormier's intent, the NYSAC has instituted a few changes to its weigh-in procedure in light of that incident. According to a document amended on April 13, "when on the scale, the combatant shall stand still with his or her feet flat upon the scale and shall not make physical contact with any person or object other than the scale.
