MMA's Assuncao brothers planning drop to lighter weight classes

The Assuncao brothers are getting lighter.

Junior Assuncao enjoys a six-fight win streak since a disappointing run in the UFC. But he's a lightweight, and real estate in that division is limited. So he plans to drop to the featherweight class, according to manager Brian Butler.

The 145-pound division is where his younger brother, UFC and WEC vet Rafael Assuncao, resides. But he, too, is considering a drop.
