I've been thinking about this and some people say it's because there aren't enough people that are big enough to fight in those divisions.
But the HW division in boxing in the 70s and 90s (no weight limit as well) were considered to be some of the deepest divisions in boxing history. There were plenty of skilled big guys there, but how come MMA's LHW/HW divisions are full of 35+ year olds?
