265lb cutoff?

[zerofux]

Great idea. Let's split a weight class with 36 fighters in half.

I thought it was a good idea, but you're right - It's a great idea.

 

[DhalpsdaDocta]

just make HW 225 and up no limit

 

[GrantB13]

Je-sus Christ. Discrimination? Are you even serious? I hope you're a troll.

 

[eternaldarkness]

what no love for the heavier classes of women? can't blame ya, personally i think women fighting is an aberration. anyone that whats to see heavyweight (female) fights, notice brackets, check out cherbourg fights. and then tell me ronda is the toughest chick on the planet.

 

[johnyboy]

I really don't wanna see the chicks that would fight at 170

 

[DizzyYeahYeah]

They should raise the HW limit to 285 lb.

Only makes sense.

fuk yer i just got sick of all the clowns calling me sexist because i don't like wmma,and fly fights. i was just making a point.

There really shouldn't be a limit but the few guys who have to cut seem to do it comfortably so I guess it's not a huge issue right now. Come to think of it has a hw ever missed weight in the ufc?

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

well its not like Bigfoot weighs 265 on fight night

 

[Mangar]

I would love to see the bigger guys fight.

i think gan mcgee

 

[Lito Lapida]

fatweight

 

[pclanadmin2]

I actually wish the HW limit was 235 and anything over that was Super Heavy Weight.

sounds good to me.

 

[KTMshredsall]

Womens bbw weight class yes!

 

[chunglii]

There is a Super Heavyweight division.
UFC just doesn't have it.
UFC being a private corporation trying to sell a product, they're not demanded to give equal opportunity (that's why we used to not have smaller men weight-classes and no women at all).

Exactly.

 

[grimballer]

The HW's gas bad enough as it is with the 265 limit.

Yeah cause they cut weight, if they didnt have to, they'll be in much better shape

 

[grimballer]

UFC/mma should restructure weight classes.

125 midgets
150 lightweight
175 welterweight
200 middleweight
225 light heavyweight
Open weight

i think a lot are missing the point. i don't think there should be any cutoff at heavyweight. forget super heavies just not enough fighters at that size. there used to be no weight limit for heavyweight. fedor crushed many foes bigger than him, if cain is so good he can do the same.

oh god of course you're a Fedor nuthugger too.

 

[eternaldarkness]

oh god of course you're a Fedor nuthugger too.

i couldn't give a flying rats arse about fedor. i have only ever followed ufc. was just making a point

Yep, that's it. You figured it out. The real reason for the 265 lb limit is to protect Cain from Zulu and HMC. We're through the looking glass, people.
