125 135 145 155 165 175 190 205 235+

[opponent]

Right?

 

[chitoortiz]

No.

I'm fine with the weight classes that already exist.

I don't see the need for more.

 

[xyzxyz94]

235+ ? What if you weigh 230 lbs? You have to cut to 205 or gain 5 pounds?

 

[Medulla Omoplata]

Yeah it'll happen right after Americans adopt the metric system.

 

[NinjaSkillZ]

130, 150, 175, 200, 200.1+

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

It should be:

135
145
155
165
175
185
195
205
205+

(IE: getting rid of 125, splitting 170 into 165 and 175, and adding 195), and:

115
125
135
135+

for WMMA.

He didn't think this one through obviously

 

[TrevorLahey]

130, 140, 155, 170....

Fuck 125 and 165.

 

[Toco]

165 175 is great, but there is just not enough talent to create 235. also no need to change 185 to 190

 

[glenwo2]

Uhh...


1 + 1 = 2?

 

[gunlok]

105

 

[FireKidWS]

235+ ? What if you weigh 230 lbs? You have to cut to 205 or gain 5 pounds?

Last one should be 225+

 

[wilKO]

No need for anything between HW and LHW. They are dogshit already.

I would like to see

115
105
95

Lots of skill there

 

[trident]

MMA is not going to draw enough top tier athletes with the current pay structure.

If that changes, these weight classes would make sense but it's not going to help given the current conditions.

It should be:

135

(IE: getting rid of 125, splitting 170 into 165 and 175, and adding 195), and:

for WMMA.

135+? like Megan vs gabi garcia?

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

135+? like Megan vs gabi garcia?

Yep. And I'd favour Anderson.

There are literally two featherweights in UFC's 145 division, and one of them (Anderson) just lost to a bantamweight (who lost to the other featherweight already). Cyborg and Anderson are walking around 170 anyway, so if you open it up, you may be able to get 8-10 fighters in what would essentially be a heavyweight division for women.

 

[Chivas GDL]

Mo Belts mo fun i'm in just keep hw as 206+ i mean wtf are we doing with guys between 206_235

 

[Lawrence]

It should be:

135
145
155
165
175
185
195
205
205+

(IE: getting rid of 125, splitting 170 into 165 and 175, and adding 195), and:

115
125
135
135+

for WMMA.

I like this 100%

I also like the idea of doing it all at once and making tournament style so fighters can "bop" their way into the initial belts.

 

[bigeastgi43]

Right?

Take 235 out. And change 205 to 210.

 

[IGotAHugePeckah]

No! No more weight classes.
