How long before the UFC creates a 165 Super Lightweight Class?

[Legendary]

165 would super stacked and would allow for more champ vs champ match ups. Both 155 and 170 have over 100+ fighters. Those divisions alone have more guys then the entire Bellator and Rizin rosters combined. It wouldn't water down the divisions. If anything both are so stacked that it causes log jams in those divisions.

The potential match up are pretty good.

Tony
Khabib
Wonderboy
Lawler
Lee
GSP
Cerrone
Conor


Plus you never know who will find their way to the top of those divisions being all the fighters that are stuck in between 155 and 170.

My girlfriend has a yeast infection

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

They might as well.

Bump 170 to 175.

 

[johncola]

Should be never.

So probably later this year or next year.

 

[ralphus1]

I'd much rather see 240 and 280 classes.

My girlfriend has a yeast infection

 

[HomerThompson]

I think it happens this year.

[awymore]

I'd much rather see 240 and 280 classes.

Wouldn't 280 just end up being the same situation as the current 145 women's division?

 

[qw3rty]

I'd much rather see 240 and 280 classes.

Yeah because there is so much talent in LHW and HW

 

[Legendary]

Wouldn't 280 just end up being the same situation as the current 145 women's division?

Damn Japanese and their Super-Hulk division nonsense.

 

[Goatenstein]

Yeah more weight classes so more top guys can avoid each other.

 

[beastman]

There needs to be a complete re-configuration of the men's and women's divisions. You can't just jam another division inbetween 2.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

No more divisions please, if these "pros" can't make weight agreed than that's on them. Too much are we now trying to accommodate for failure rather than discipline it.
This obsession with multiple belts or this champ vs champ stuff is diluting MMA as is.

 

[christer]

Maybe 165, 175 and then change 205 to 195 or 200, make a 220 class and remove the upper weight cap on the real heavy weights so they can roid and eat more.

 

[Snake Fist]

Would much rather have fighters, entering the cage the very same weight as they weigh in at.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

just redo the whole thing

135
145
155
165
175
185
195
205+

 

[604MMA]

I can't see that happening. Until the Ali Act is implemented in MMA. I could see a body creating new universal weight classes that all organizations follow. But as for the UFC as the only body that does it, I don't see that happening

 

[P4PSHERGOAT]

Maybe 165, 175 and then change 205 to 195 or 200, make a 220 class and remove the upper weight cap on the real heavy weights so they can roid and eat more.

USADA
What you think will happen

What will really happen

 

[Goatenstein]

This is all nonsense. Just because your favorite fighter can't win in a real weight class we don't need to coddle them like spoiled children.
