Re: UFC To Add More Weight Classes

It's a very smart idea

A 230 pound class sounds like a good idea, but this completely killed competition 5 years ago at my old H.s.... Heavy weight used to be 200-275 and then they made and 215 division and the talent just split down the middle, neither division was as good.

I wish they would just roll the WEC to UFC but that won't happen anytime soon because Zuffa just reupped their deal with Vs. Network. Dana said too many classes killed boxing so I can't see them adding more classes. They do need to make sure they have a belt every ppv so they need to add lower classes. I don't really want to dilute the weight classes anymore. It is going to be interesting to see what happens. I think UFC is running so many shows now and is seeing to many PPVs with no titles; this could be putting pressure on the org to add more belts. I personally think the WEC should just become a feeder league for the UFC and run the same weight classes from top to bottom but I don't think Vs. would be happy if that happened.

They dont need a belt every PPV. They have plenty of guys who could headline PPV's with or without belts. The only reason we've had a run off PPVs without belts is because of injuries. Even with all these injuries we will only go 3 ppvs in a row without a title defense (GSP is defending in 111).

Re: UFC To Add More Weight Classes

everything is perfect, but not heavyweights, i mean a guy like brock can fight a guy who fights at 220 and kill him, just sit on him and kill him...there should be a 245 and a plus 245 imo

Okay, not every single PPV but nearly. I understand the injury issues but that is always going to happen. Over the last years it seems like about every other PPV has been a headline of a #1 contenders fight. Some of the those have been solid. I really think if they would just add a 145 class things would be perfect.
