If MMA used the same weight classes as Boxing..

[Aranha21]

Who would you have as the champions?

(Yes I am aware that actually using the same weight classes would be unanimously unpopular, this is just for fun)

200+ - Stipe
200 - Jones (he could make 200 right?)
175 - Adesanya (based on Chael saying he could make 170)
168 - Usman (unless the extra 2lbs bothered him)
160 - Khabib
154 - Tony (he would probably be 160 though)
147 - Volkanovski
140 - Korean Zombie (could he cut another 5lbs?)
135 - Petr Yan (I think he will beat Cejudo)
130 - Cejudo (midway point between his 2 divisions)
126 - ?
122 - Demetrious Johnson (He was a small 125 in the UFC)

We'd just end up with guys trying to get four belts, and making an even bigger mess.

Congrats.

If MMA was as established a sport as Boxing. You'd have more talent worldwide to fill the divisions.
I must be one of the only people who like boxing's weight divisions.

Cejudo won his belts and now he doesn't fight.

I'd like to see a Super Heavyweight class.

Just giant dudes fighting with no weight cutting.

There's gotta be at least one 400 pound badass out there.

I miss the days of only 5 weight classes and no interim champions.
