More Weight Classes - Page 2

I wouldn't mind if they put in a lower weight class, like 140lbs. The only division they could afford to dilute is lightweight But then I would be less excited to watch WEC.

i've said for years that LHW should end at 200 and heavyweight should only go to 250. i think 250 is the perfect endcap for heavyweight and would lead to a much more competitive division.

.....Dana did say when the UFC takes on the WEC talent from heavier weight classes they will add some lighter classes to WEC......125,115.

I like the name Super Middleweight better. No disrespect meant. Just rolls off the tongue better. But i think it is an unnecessary division to have if it ever is really made.

Like in boxing when they say, "(Insert famous boxer here) held 12 belts at the same time." Yeah, too bad they were all within 20 pounds of each other. It's kind of like a business skewing statistics. Actually that's exactly what it is.

Thats the thing i hate the most about boxing, every 3 pounds is a new weight class. its hard to keep up with all these champions and all these different belts that they have. They look like the best fighters in the world when they enter the ring wearing 5 belts.
