What would be your ideal weight class system in the UFC?

[BroScienceTalkatWork]

125/women’s (female fighters don’t have to make weight)

135

145

155

165

175

195

HW

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

135
150
165
180
195
225
245+

More like in boxing, weight cutting either becomes even more extreme, or "fixes" itself, the gap between weight classes its a big large.

Yeah.

I mean 80% of us are going in FW or LW. Not me but most of y’all..

Boxing you got 40-47-54-60… plenty of space to move up

 

[GoldenAzazel]

I think it's pretty much fine how it is. I understand why there was a weight limit back in the day for HW, but I don't feel like that's needed now. The only two other changes I could see are light-welterweight and super-middleweight divisions

 

[swarrrm]

Start at 115lbs and increase in 10lbs increments until you hit 185, then 200, 225, and shw no weight limit.

 

[Clark Rogers]

I'm fine with it as is.

First we weigh your penis.
If you don't have one fuck off to Invicta.


Then...

135, 145, 155, 170, 185, 205, fat fuckers and mutants

I basically agree with this. Maybe I’d add a 225 in a hypothetical world where the UFC paid comparable money to other pro sports to attract enough talent to flll the upper weight classes. Definitely uncap HW too.

100% agreed. If you don’t have a penis I want nothing to do with you

What if when they do the drug test, they also weight in, and if the fighter is 20% above the weight class he competes, he can't fight in the next 30 days.

Example: A welterweight who weights 205lbs or more (20% of 170 = 34, so 170+34=204=the limit) 30 days before a event, can't fights there...

It's just a example, I don't know if the numbers are realistic, but a group of people who understand about this kind of subject would elaborate the rules.

The goal would be avoid drastic weight changes from the athletes, avoiding health issues and weight bullies...

 

[Ares Black]

W105
W115
W125
W135
W145

125
135
145
155
165
175
185
205
225
275

Some of these divisions would be very thin, but I don't care

Nah in all seriousness.. all you need is light WW and then keep everyone within 15 pounds of their weight class

Yeah. It was perfect the way it was 15 years ago

These medium sized fighters are starving.. feinting during weigh ins… showing rib cage and shit

Dudes got the physique of someone who would stab you for 15$ and a bus pass
