Draft the 165 pound division
- Thread starter Wild
- Start date
You split 170 into 165 and 175, making the weight classes
125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, 205, 265
Makes a ton of sense given the depth in that weight range.
I agree and maybe even a 225 pound division. It might take a few years before the champions in the new divisions are looked at as actual champions.
The only issue I see with a 225 pound title is it spreads the hw division even thinner. That division is already thin but I think moving the limit to 300 pounds could make it hilarious. Even no weight limit!

Also makes for more people jumping in and out of weight divisions.
GSP
Covington
Diaz
Alvarez
Lee
RDA
Vick
Magny
Masvidal
Cerrone
Barboza
Iaquinta
Chiesa
Nelson
Northcutt
This was hard.
Your list made me think Barboza vs. Iaquinta would be a great fight to watch.
Yes it is. I would go.

Can't argue much here. Our big discrepancy is Barboza but I was really struggling with where to put him as compared to Masvidal and Iaquinta.
To the list already made, I'd add a few prospects and up and comers like
Felder
Makhachev
Matheuz Gamrot
Ponzinnibio
Yancy Medeiros
Yaroslov Amosov
I'd also add Khabib and Ferguson because they don't seem to love their weight cuts and I'd axe GSP because I don't believe he could make 165 no matter what he and Firas say.

Do you think Makenzie dern could make it down to 165??
