Shit, would have to recruit for that division with a season of The Ultimate Fighter: Ethiopia

Winner gets a cheeseburger! Id watch that.

and personally, Id rather see a 195lb division and see lhw bumped up to 215, then a whole extra division for undersized hws

I think cruiser weight makes the most sense right now. I dont know any man above 18 years old who weighs less than 115 pounds.. and i know some really skinny guys

I am sure there are a lot of exciting 115 pound'ers over in Asia.

I would like to see a Cruiser weight division around 230-235 in the furtue... And it will happen eventually... But now is not the time. What it would do is take away a lot from HW and from LHW as well. The sport isnt big or old enough to do that at this point in time to fully make it work... They should also make HW up to 285-300.

I would not be excited to see another smaller weight class. 115 is getting down there, but it does make sense. The more exposure the sport gets, the more people it will attract. Especially if the UFC wants to get into Asia like Dana said.

A lot of the best HW's. JDS, Cain, DC, Werdum... would make 235 with ease... Even some of the bigger guys may be able to make it. I guess there are different philosophies... but having too much muscle mass can be a hindrance as well.
