Lol @ HW & LHW
This is why 155-165-175 makes too much sense
No more divisions. It makes boxing gay when dudes duck or make excuses over 4 lbs. I dont want to see mma go that route.
I actually believe the opposite will happen. You will have more fighters, healthier fighters, as well as more potential matchups and superfights. Boxing has 19?weight divisions. If you moved welterweight to 175 and added a 165. You would have 9.
Also, if you did it, this way, the average weight between weight class would be 10 pounds. In boxing the average is probably 5. It’s apples to oranges.
I dont think healthier necesarily. Maybe a few less guys cut down to 155, but a few 170ers cut harder to 165. It wont make a huge difference either way and imo is not worth it.
More divisions makes sense imo. More titles. More moving up and down. You don’t need em every 4 lbs but 10 would be better from 145 to 215.
I’m not sure I agree. I would much rather see some of these great potential superfights.
you have too many guys that are currently too small for 170 but too big for 155.
You also have the guys who are too small for 185, but too big for 175.
And 155 is STACKED, another weight class will give potential for these guys to shine
Wouldnt you just be creating “superfights” with guys who are probably in the same division now?
Well no, I mean if you have fighters who are 175 and 155 and could meet at 165. Or 145-165 and can meet at 155 etc
Why does this infographic ignore the three women in the UFC’s WFW division? They are gonna be pissed.
UFC has a belt for them and puts their fights on PPV card.
way too many imo
