Media Michael Chandler hopes his fight vs McGregor is for the inaugural 165 lb title

[Wreckless]

this needs to be posted every time this topic comes up.

Weight class	Upper weight limit
Strawweight	115 lb (52.2 kg)
Flyweight	125 lb (56.7 kg)
Bantamweight	135 lb (61.2 kg)
Featherweight	145 lb (65.8 kg)
Lightweight	155 lb (70.3 kg)
Super lightweight	165 lb (74.8 kg)
Welterweight	170 lb (77.1 kg)
Super welterweight	175 lb (79.4 kg)
Middleweight	185 lb (83.9 kg)
Super middleweight	195 lb (88.5 kg)
Light heavyweight	205 lb (93.0 kg)
Cruiserweight	225 lb (102.1 kg)
Heavyweight	265 lb (120.2 kg)
Super heavyweight	No limit

Having a 170 and 175 division makes no sense. 5 pounds is nothing at that weight.

Just bump 170 to 175. Problem solved. Now you got 155, 165, 175, 185..

Why have 165 & 170?? Doesn’t make sense.

If anything, add a cruiserweight (225lbs) division, and then have no max cap on HW (remove the ridiculous 265 limit).

There's zero talent at 205 and Heavyweight but you want to cram another division in between them? Bro read a book or something, very uneducated.

I'm down for a 165 division with WW moving to 175, just 2 things:

• Needs to not have a lame boxing-style prefix-name like "super lightweight" or "light welterweight"
• It might be a problem if the two guys inaugurating the new weight class are divas like Conor and Chandler who prefer money fights over defending against the best of the best

God Chandler is such an annoying can.

 

[sky world]

so they're just handing the conman another title shot?

You guys keep wanting more divisions.. It just means more people jumping between divisions more and making all the current situations that we hate worse. Divisions will be tied up more because of division jumping.. Champs will be looking to get more titles

Please not yet another division. If anything we need less

Does having 3 divisions so close to each other in weight mean that fighters will effectively show up twice (or possibly even 3 times) in the different divisional rankings? And if so, is that a good thing? The rankings are already a bit jokey at times.

Agree, I think there should only be 2 men's divisions.



The BMF division and the RMF (regular mother fucker).

Winner fights Kevin Lee!

Fighter Kevin Lee? How does he fit into all this?

Dana hates 165. It will never happen. He thinks the weight is nonsense and I do believe him. Its just 5 punds less than 170. Whats the point exactly?

Where doesnt Kevin Lee fit?

 

[Ace70 V2]

That would be terrible
