Dana Thinking Of Adding Atomweight

[Eater of Souls]

with a kick yes with a punch idk

Several posts featuring punch KO's have been posted in the thread.

I'm just curious how anyone could think 115 is weak. Even with Jessica leaving and Tatiana being out for the for seeable future, we now have Ribas, Dern, and Yan.

If you read his posts all he is doing is constantly bitching about women.

Only if Joanna and Weili also fight twice a year

There are a fair number of competitive fights including Rose, Yan, Andrade (if she were to go back down) and a few others like Ribas, Suarez (if she can get healthy), Esparza, Dern etc imho.

I wouldn't say no to Weili-Joanna twice a year though.

they'll need magnets under the octagon to keep them from floating away.

 

[usernamee]

imagine being in the stands of a big arena watching that

will barely be able to see them ffs

This is a terrible idea, when are these guys going to make a good change for once?

It's a great idea, actually.

Another WMMA division YAY!!!!

Ideally we should’ve kept this experiment at 2 divisions and let them grow but that’s just me, if they add another division in an already paper thin situation in regards to depth, I’ll have to stop watching regularly. I don’t wanna see 8-9 WMMA fights on a card but to each their own.

We literally have a featherweight women’s division where we can’t name 5-10 fighters in the weight class, it’s a complete and utter joke but it’s allowed to continue because the fans are willing to tolerate it.

Increasing the prices of PPV’s while adding more divisions we don’t need, great stuff

It's no longer an experiment. Women's featherweight is a joke, this is a true, but that's because very few women are that large so the competition is slim pickings. 105 is another story entirely. Strawweight is not paper thin, saying that over and over does not make it so.

Women’s Flyweight is improving too slowly and Women’s Featherweight can’t even be called a proper division.

Don’t add anymore until at the least Women’s 145 is officially closed.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

So you'll say no to 165 175 but fight for 105?

If you're talking about me then nah - I'm not bitching about women. Some of the fighters I like. I'm just saying that anyone who would be fighting in the 105 division would be a borderline (if not outright) cut from the 115 division.

If the trade is 105 for 145 I'd do it in a heartbeat. But adding another division is just going to incentivize existing borderline fighters to cut more weight.

I get it, smaller divisions means a slightly larger pool of talent, especially overseas. I know all of this stuff already.

Regardless I'd rather they fix the current issues we have without pulling a new division out of their ass. At this point I don't really care anymore, I'll eventually have to treat this sport like boxing. You can't figure out how to retain the Flyweight GOAT and keep him happy and on your roster, but you can keep making divisions that might make for entertaining fights, but are absolutely not what we need.

At the moment, this is all hypothetical anyway. Atomweight division is far from a certainty.

Retard, smaller women are the norm. How many 145 pound ripped, athletic women do you know?

The most athletic people on the planet are gymnasts, men and women.

Check out their height and weight sometime.

Going to a smaller division for women, means selecting women who are actually athletic and can fight.

Only time will tell, but I wonder if this means that the UFC is moving forward more in Asia. That's the right weight class for a women's premier division in Asia. Hopefully they'll start recruiting more Thais.

Here come the insults.....

stop using alts

 

[Old Man]

So we want a division where Tecia Torres can be champ? She didn't fight at atom in Invicta when she had the choice so it's not like she's too small for straw.

I'm not arguing for or against this division. I'm just pointing out that there are plenty of females who would be a better fit here, and saying that women in this division are washouts is incorrect.

Personally I think we need a Nuclear Weight. 265+
