"A new weight class that will change the sport forever"....what?

Anyone else see the commercial for TUF5 where the guy says "With a new weightclass that will change the sport forever"?

Since when is lightweight a new weightclass?

I think they are referring to the newly revived UFC lightweight weight class and are hoping that the show will spark considerable amount of interest in not only the weight class, but also for the ufc in general.

Considering a champion was somewhat recently crowned and he hasn't even defended it yet, I guess the LW class could still be considered "new," at least since being brought back.

I believe you could classify that as "hype" by the UFC to promote the reinstatement of the LW division. You know, the UFC is a business so they probably should do some type of marketing when they introduce something new. I know, it's crazy.
