"The more champions we have, the better, obviously you don't too much saturation in the sport. But, I think it would be good, because that 15 lbs is a big jump. You can see considerable size difference with 15 lbs especially with guys cutting the way they do."



I agree. If you look at the current landscape of 145, 155 and 170, there are so many good fighters that can't even get Top 10 fights or title shots.

Max and Ferguson had to go on a ridiculous winning streak to even sniff a title shot, and guys like Mairbek Taisumov somewhere in the Top 30 can't even get a Top 15 opponent. There are so many other cases of this.

I have reservations about 195 due to the fact that it's a bum division but the 165 I like.
 
125,135,145,155,165,175,185,195,205,215, and hw 216-265 then super hw 266+ no limit.

Seriously though I do t want to add any BBC you'd have to many pop jumping classes and they'd get thin and and champs would mean less and title shots even less than they already do.

Would love to see a 165 division and move welterweight to 175.


Knowing the UFC they’ll give us a 155 women’s lightweight division.
 
FUck that. The biggest advantage ufc has over boxing is the perfect weight class system. Please do not fuck it up.
 
They certainly could move the divisions around a bit however there's barely enough contenders for some divisions as it is, we need more fighters first and then change the divisions later

Probably. I wouldn't hate that but would rather 200lb and move 205 to 215 then hw with no limit. Hw having a limit is stupid bc there are people over 265 but now most are fat fucks or droid freaks not worth a damn but there are a few legit big big dudes.
 
There aren't enough elite level fighters in the sport to have as many weight classes as boxing.

Seriously, LOL @ a 195 lb. division. LHW is a joke outside of the top 2/3 guys, and MW isn't that great either outside of the top 5.

You'd end up with three terrible divisions instead of two bad ones.

This is just like when people were obsessed with a 225 lb cruiserweight division due the impending takeover of Heavyweight by all of the Brock-sized A-level athletes that never happened.

I mean, the roster is huge, as is. I’m not making any factual claims, but maybe some guys aren’t able to make it to the top of their respective divisions due to the weight cut being too much. More divisions could potentially see guys that are stuck in the top 20-30 break out and become top contenders, if not stars, in a division more suited to their natural weight.

just make 205 into 210.

with a 195 disvision 205 would be too short of a difference. make it 210 and that's that.

Are you guys reffering to 195 only?

Because I'm giving you concrete evidence as I stated, a guy like Taisumov is #30 somewhere and he's elite level talent.

And I also gave you Ferguson and Max having to go 10 wins before even getting a title shot.

How do you explain that? I could go on and on. What about Trinaldo going on a 7 win streak and nobody thinks of him as a contender yet he went 7 fights in the deepest division.

165 is a very good idea. Almost every fighter in the game agrees, only fans don't agree. What do fans know? They eat doritos all day and think they know from their chairs.
 
165 and 175 first. It makes sense. Especially with GSP in the mix to legitimize either division. More champions will only give the UFC more options, and me more fights to watch.

Look at how many times the UFC had to scramble to fill cards with champions recently? They had to beg Cyborg (a fighter they have historically hated) to help them out. LOL

More champions, more options, and more entertainment for me. The UFC is becoming the only the sport I can stomach. I need more of it and not less.
