UFC needs to start a super HW division

[TimeToTrain]

There should not be a weight limit for fighters. Miss seeing the Akebonos, Hong Man Choi’s and other massive athletes compete in MMA. And the gap between 185-205 lbs never made sense without a 195 lb division. If a 195 lb division existed, move up 205 to 210. Call the 195 lb division cruiser weight.

Flyweight is cool and all but I’d give that up for a 195 lbs division. But Dana and the team must create a super HW division heavier than the 265 lb limit.

People complain about lacking athleticism in the current HW division but adding fatter, more out of shape 'athletes' - of which there aren't that many anyway - is gonna fix things? No thanks.

This. Outside the top five HW is a slow, out of breath mess. If anything they should lower the weight limit to 230 to trim the fat.

It's unfair that naturally big athletes like Tai Tuivasa have to starve themselves to make 265. Tuivasa walks around 310 so that's a huge cut.

There is no shortage of superheavy weight a-level athletes on sherdog. Yea, we are not all fighters, but put sherbro ufc pi 3 months as islam would say and you get blue chip prospect.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

No they don’t. There’s like 5 good heavyweights at the moment

 

[jitzmonkey]

Absolutely!
There's too much congestion in the top 10 let alone the top 20.
HW is way too stacked right now.

A Super HW division is really the only viable solution to get the fights that we really want to see!

 

[World eater]

I agree. But only if that division is allowed to juice like There’s no tomorrow. To the gills!

You’re right; that’s their problem - they’re just swimming in super sized super skilled athletes

You know I almost think at this point you could merge heavyweight and lightweight. Move middle up to 195 and add a 165. It’d be like boxing

Speaking of which, the 205 class guys are fighting in the mid 220s… in boxing that’s common for heavyweights. Are we sure the top light heavyweight guys couldnt bulk up and be good heavyweights?

As long as the fights are one round only.

The last thing Tai Tuivasa is doing, even at his smallest, is starving himself.

Greg Hardy
Juan Adams
Chris Barnett

No, they really don't. Super Heavyweight is a wasteland with no talent.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

UFC needs a woman's HW division. Bryce Mitchell's Mama deserves a paycheck too!!

 

[NoSmilez]

Super HW would be fun. It will just be the strongman and fat guy division. We will say silly stuff like Black Beast is a small SHW.

 

[Skarsgard]

If Jones missed weight, Dana would have that shit in the works immediately.

I might’ve been mostly backing up here; but a couple seconds later I pieced him dude up with a 9 flail-slap combo.
Was kicking his ass until I shat myself; but that’s no-one’s fault.

Most weight classes have a 10 to 20 pound differential and I do agree HW needs to get broken up (the 60 pound gap allows for too differently sized HWs), I don't agree with a 265 and up division.

A lot of LHWs walk around at 235, so that would be a good one to open.

There are too few and good 265 plus pounders.

 

[BlankaPresident]

Just remove the weight cap already.

Guys like Volkov and Struve could muscle up nicely without weight limits.
