Would you be for HW and LHW being merged into one weight class?

[BullyKutta]

He grappling? no?

You're missing the point.

For every Francis NGannou, we have 20 unconditioned blobs who gas out after 5 minutes, then spend the rest of the fight trading leg kicks in narcolepsy inducing affairs.

There's nothing about the Heavyweight division that indicates to me that those guys are any more dangerous than the 205ers by virtue of their weight. The inverse is actually true, IMO.

I legitimately think Pereira manhandles most of the HW division without so much as breaking a sweat.

 

[Patof]

Yes. Have everything above 200 as heavyweight and remove the 265 limit.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Uncap HW! Been obvious for years.

Yeah cause we really need a lot more Parker Porters and Tai Tuivasas to populate the HW division lol..

 

[oski]

A few of you have brought this up. Picture this guy with actual training...

 

[fedorthegoat777]

No.
Absolutely not.
Maybe increase HW to 300.
And invest more money in HW, the big boys deserve it. The top fighter just left. Recruit them. Athletic little people can play soccer or nothing. The big boys have basketball, football, hockey, Wrestling, boxing, big money sports. Pay them better. They bring more eyes.

 

[orca]

look at him at 230 lbs hes lean af
i dont think he can cut to LHW hes a natural big dude

Natural LHW like jones look fat at HW

I think DDP could wreck some of the unranked guys there.

Men's:
125 fly
135 bantam
145 feather
155 light
165 super light
175 welter
185 middle
205 light heavy
225 cruiser
226+ Heavy

Ladies:
105 Atom
115 straw
125 fly
135 bantam
145 feather

Fixed.

That aside I 100% agree with this. I'd like more weight classes, not less. Heavy definitely needs to be unlimited.

 

[High Test With da Best]

Actually I like this better too

I feel like less weight classes ensures only the absolute best when it comes to smaller guys in the division.

Remember BJ and Sherk competing at WW?

Oh I do; "The Muscle Great White Shark" lol
