Suppose you could magically make anyone champ. Who would you make the champ of each division so that UFC does huge PPV numbers again? (You can only pick from people currently in that division and eligible to compete):
  • 265 - Ngannou
  • 205 - Saki
  • 185 - GSP
  • 170 - Wonderboy
  • 155 - Conor
  • 145 - Edgar
  • 135 - Cody
  • 125 - Cejudo
  • W135 - Holly
  • W115 - PVZ
Honestly I even had trouble picking anyone for 205, 145, and 125.

Wonderboy? Fuck him and Woodley.

Edgar doesn't pull.

JJ is fine as champ and pulls in eyeballs.

McCall would pull unlike everybody else in the division.

Ronda at 135 because she's still the pull.

Who the fuck is Saki?
 
I like your list

I'd put GSP back at WW and Silva back at MW, if not I think they are OK with Bisping

At HW I'd put Reem
At LHW... damn that's harsh
 
Who cares about the UFC doing huge numbers? I don't give a damn, just wanna see some great fights.

205 - Gustafsson
185 - Whittaker
170 - Nelson
155 - Gaethje
145 - Sung Jung

Saki says "Who the fuck is warriorscomeout?"

Well DC has pulled consistently better numbers than any other division outside of Mcgregor and Ronda so there is no real need to change at 205.

DC's last 4 were

Cormier vs. Jones 2 - 900k
Cormier vs. Johnson 2 - 400k
Cormier vs. Silva - 1 Million (UFC 200)
Cormier vs. Gustafsson -300k

It could be argued that 1 event was due to Jones and 1 was a big event like UFC 200 but 300k and 400k are obviously way better than whats been going on the last couple of UFC events.

I'll tell you this much i'll buy the PPV when DC is fighting on it.

Also they could always make Cormier vs. Saki if Saki is as big as people make out.

Correcting these numbers for you.
Cormier vs. Jones 2 - 860k
Cormier vs. Johnson 2 - 300k
Cormier vs. Gustafsson - 250k
