UFC should add at least women's flw and fw (125 and 145lbs).

[EGarrett]

The UFC doesn't need any more divisions. Let alone any more lightweight divisions, and let alone anymore lightweight female divisions. They've already overextended their product.

"We should make a 145lb division, and then Cyborg can continue to fight 135ers because there's no one else at 145"

 

[Captain Herb]

Holy crap, I think I just read someone arguing for the inclusion of a new division by pointing out that the current divisions are terrible and watered down already.

It depends. If you're one of the (Ronda) people who think 135 is the pinnacle with all the top talent and that 145 is hopelessly devoid of any potential then this argument is for you. If you think all WMMA is crap and wish it would go away then this argument is not for you. I'm not trying to tell someone who hates WMMA that 145 will be great entertainment (Besides Cyborg), I'm pointing out that if you're going to have WMMA in the UFC, the divisions need to be built and the talent will follow. It takes time and investment just like MMA back in the day.

 

[Captain Herb]

Flyweight is inevitable. Feather...depends on if we get more Megan Anderson's bursting onto the scene.

They can't burst on the scene if there's nowhere to go. Unless you're Cyborg with a sweet deal with the UFC, the most a potential 145 can hope for is to maybe pay the rent and some gym fees. Almost none of these women can train full time.

 

[Cheapshart]

Yes to 105 and 125.

No to 145. There isn't one competitive fight for Cyborg at that weight so what would be the point?

 

[Rizz]

My order would be 125 this year. 105 is the future and 145 in the distant future if more talent shows up.

Remember when 115 came

Carla was killing everyone in invicta and looked unstoppable- jj was in some minor leagues in poland and russia

Now she is champ

If you build it they will come

who is going to come to 145? Who? who?!?!? crickets.......

 

[ZAFARI]

I think there are already 2 too many women's divisions in the UFC.

 

[SeverianB]

To stop the Welterweight champion having to be the Middleweight champion rather than Welterweight champion at 185 pounds when they banned weight cutting..... oh wait I mangled that explanation didn't I?

Basically they banned weight cutting then moved the weight limits of the weight classes ie Welterweight is now 176-185 instead of 156-170 so they could keep the champions the same.

What the hell? This sounds like that scene from Spinal Tap where the the guitarist insists an amp is louder because it goes to 11 rather than 10 like other amps.

 

[Adamant]

I agree with adding new female weight classes.

 

[Boonedoggle]

125 definitely. 145 is way too shallow.

125 will take away from the 115 and 135 divisions.

The 145 won't really dilute the talent pool at 135 and seems like a good division to build up.

 

[dim_]

Maybe even atom weight 105, but 125 and 145 should be added. Cyborg is the big star, final boss of the women and 125 will be legit soon.

who would you put in the 145 division apart from Cyborg?

 

[dim_]

Talent will come to 145, i really believe that... There are big women all over the world wanting to compete in the UFC, im sure about that... and how about carano vs cyborg 2? that would sell!

are you joking? Gina nowadays would struggle to make 165
