What Are the 3 Worst Weight Divisions and How Would You Improve Them in 2017?

Have WMMA only cards. Those who enjoy would buy, right?
 
Then you should have no problem with an all wmma card.

Not a big fan of WBW at the moment to be honest, all my favs are at Strawweight now Miesha's gone.

An all 115 card would be epic tho, the embeddeds would be like porn. :3
 
WFW: Honestly this division is dead on arrival. Anderson is a good prospect if/once she makes it over but the rest of the division is full of WBW washouts and .500 cans.

WBW: Nunes/Shev/Pena should keep the division afloat even after Ronda ditches, but there's really no one else past that. Cat looked pretty bad against Pena; I suppose Rocky has been doing good...

Flyweight: The two best guys in the division should be fighting at BW, and the talent outside of the top 5 drops off heavily. MM, JB, Guchi, Cejudo, Baugs, not much else.

Not sure how to fix flyweight.

I have a kamikaze solution to WFW/WBW, assuming the UFC wants to have 3 WMMA divisions and is all in on WFW:

WSW
WFlyW
Scrap WBW
WFW

There aren't enough natural WBW's to warrant a division if the bigger fighters go to WFW, so smaller fighters like Shev can slide down to WFlyW along with the larger WSW's. I think WSW is deep enough to take the hit, and has a good amount of prospects that can fill the void of JJ/JoJo/Val

Better to just give up on WFW.
 
WFW - if they won't scrap it do only title bouts and a few other fights in it, just ignore it for the most part as the division sucks worldwide

LHW - let more of the prospects fight and knock off the old guys like Nog and Shogun, and sign more prospects

HW - same as LHW, like what they're doing with Ngannou and Beast
 
LHW is the worst as far as future talent. There's really nothing to do. Rumble has beaten most of them. Jones would kill them all. They'll just have to scout more than ever because they just don't have the talent right now.
Just wait for Beastin' 25/8!
 
HW. Get rid of the 265 limit, pay more, drop/sideline Cain because he's probably fucked up more ppv cards than he is paid, pay more for top talent, institute a mandatory fitness program for the HW men because most of them look like shit.
