I believe the gap between Lightweight and Welterweight is too much. I also believe they should bring in a Cruiserweight division! What are your thoughts? Here are my proposed weight classes. Strawweight: 118lbs Flyweight: 125lbs Super-Flyweight: 130lbs Bantamweight: 135lbs Featherweight: 145lbs Lightweight: 155lbs Light-Welterweight: 160lbs Welterweight: 170lbs Middleweight: 180lbs Light-Heavyweight:190lbs Cruiserweight: 210lbs Heavyweight: 210lbs plus
This.:good Leave it alone. The weight classes in mma is great as is. Don't go down the boxing route and make the sport a joke.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe anyone has won two belts in two different weight classes,I think Frankie Edgar would of been the first if he'd of beaten Jose Aldo? I reckon Boxing would be better without all the different weight classes and yet you still get divas like Canelo wanting their own catch weights,it's a disgrace quite frankly.
Randy Couture in the UFC - Light heavy and Heavy champ Dan Handerson in Pride - Welterweight and middleweight champ There might be more
Had he won he would have been the 3rd fighter to win UFC titles in multiple weight classes after Randy Couture and BJ Penn. There have been some others who have accomplished the feat in different orgs.
