125 135 145 155 165 175 190 205 235+

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

135
150
170
190
210
211+

plus 175 and lower open weight tournament
and the 180+ open weight tournament, depending on winners..perhaps an openweight match between the two

havent put too much thought into it...just throwing that out there, to be honest...I would rather see same day weigh ins before any weightclass changes
extreme weight cutting is lame
 
thing is, someone suited to 165 is someone that is big for 155 and can't really make weight reliably

Someone “suited to 165” should be suited to 170 as well.

yes, but the thing is, there are guys that have trouble cutting to 155 and are undersized at 170. 165 are for them
 

The only weight classed needed are 165 and 175. 155 is absolutely stacked and plenty of fighters could use 165 instead of cutting down to 155 or going up to 170 where they'd be at a size disadvantage, which is why they kill themselves to make 155. Any more weight classes would water down the already watered down cards.

I do like the idea of a 175 division if 165 is introduced. No need for 235, though. HW is already super shallow, no need to make it even more so.
