guys like uriah faber are small ass 155ers.
should ufc stay at 155 or start another div , say 145???
i would love to see a 145lb division!
urijah is the man!
what about 140s?
since the ufc goes ever 15 pounds
sure
naw, 155 is fine
useless, the weight classes are already set by New Jersey/Nevada athletic comm.
265 and over, under 265, under 205, under 185, under 170, under 155, under 145, under 135, under 125...
if memory serves that is...actually, maybe under 135 was the lowest one...
at anyrate, under 145 is the official weight class and since Fedor, Barnett, Nog, CroCop, etc. are under 265, I'm hoping that they drop the SHW category and make it part of HW myself...
UFC needs weekly TV IMO
yes it would be good to develop that division
though i doubt they could even get Melendez, Pequeno, Kid and other top 145ers
I think it would be great if the UFC did, but maybe after a few more succesful years. Creating more weight divisions could run the risk of over saturation with too many fighters for the average fan to keep track of.
Normally I'd say no, too many weight divisions, but if the UFC actually wants to have 20 events in one year, like I heard, which is insane, the only way to do it is to open up the lighter weight classes, bring in the really talented smaller guys, and have many more fighters for potential matches to fill up the cards.
I don't see how on earth they could put on that many events with the few weight classes and relatively shallow talent pool they currently have; 20 events, say just 6 fights(12 fighters) each,( ppv might have a few more fights, free tv less)that's approximately 120 fights- 240 fighters(a few less from the same fighters fighting more than once so let's be overly nice and say 200 different fighters) in ONE YEAR...the UFC doesn't have near that type of talent pool. No one does, that many top-level skilled fighters don't exist in the states yet. Even cut in half at 10 events, that's 100 different fighters. The sport hasn't come that far yet,jeez, talk about trying to push an elephant through a keyhole. The only conceivable way to do it is to open everything from the flyweight division up.

Yes, of course.
Actually there are a total of 17 UFC events scheduled this year including the ones that have already taken place.
12 events have already taken place.
10/10 UFN Tito/Shamrock3
10/14 UFC 64 Franklin/Silva
11/11 TUF Finale 4
11/18 UFC 65
12/30 UFC 66
...are the ones upcoming.
140 would be great. In other combat sports this is a great weight. In boxing 135 to 147 is some of the best fighters and the best fights. They are fast and skilled but can still produce KO's.
ttt 4 da lil fellas
Yes, bring on the Monkey!
LOL
If they did you better shine the belt up real nice for Brad Pickett.
ya they should have a 145 or 140 division becasue there is so much talent there. Plus you almost never have a boring fight with that weight class. The great thing about 140 is you could have the best 145ers and 35ers in one divison.
i say yes to a 145 div
