It just makes too much sense. 155-170lbs is where most of the talent in mma lies, can't just have two weight classes & have champs fight once or less than that for the year & guys in the 11-15th range all be world class. The 165lb weight class is definitely needed & wouldn't water down the product at all. Let's not also forget that the UFC have made guys like Rory Mcdonald & Larkin sign with Bellator & guys like Chandler is also not in the UFC either.

i personally like the 15lb spread and prefer 7 divisions to 8
130, 145, 160, 175, 190, 205, 265
135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210, 265
makes it perfect for weight cuts
