I'd like the divisions to look like this

135
145
155
167.5
180
195
210
265

My reasoning

The 210 weight class would be more ideal for guys like Randy, Forrest, Vera, & Tito the bigger LHWs
The 195 weight class would be more ideal for guys like Belfort, Wand, Franklin, Mousasi, Bisping, & Hendo the guys who jump from 195 to 205
The 180 weight class would be more idea for guys like Alves, Kampmann, Fitch, Trigg, Lawler, & GSP the guys who barely make the weight cut down to 170 and the smaller MWs like Akiyama, etc
The 167.5 weight class would be more ideal for guys like Diego, Maynard, the bigger LWs who have to deal with the huge drop plus guys like Serra, Hughes, and Kos top guys who could still easily make 167.5

What do you think?

I feel like there's always gonna be problems with any weight classes you make, unless you make more, and that's just stupid. I like the weight classes where they are.

LHW would go from interesting to crap. Leave shit alone apart from maybe splitting HW into two classes, and making super HW official.
