Should the UFC add a Cruiserweight Division

I know we have discussed this before but in all seriousness should this actually be approached?

No but I would like to see a revamped weight class overall, if done correctly.

no

last thing they need is more weight classes, then before long they will have , superlightweight, then flyweight, super flyweight, straweight, .....to much like boxing with all there crazy classes.

No. Boxing needs all those weight classes. The UFC doesn't at this point

I still vote for no.

If they do add another weight class, i'd like to see some balance in the lighter weights, not just "Brock-proofing" the HW division.

Only add this one. 206-265 thats 59 Lbs to work with. The most anywhere else is 19. It makes sense only for this one more weight class. They would have more possible matchups and more main events lined up. The sport is evolving bigger guys are getting in and cutting to 265 so some things must change. Some are afraid of change others adapt. So I think they should adapt and make a new weight class.

There should be 6 divisions.

Lightweight= Up to 150
Welterweight= 151-170
Middleweight= 171-190
Light-Heavyweight= 191-210
Cruiserweight= 211-230
Heavyweight= 231-270

So you want KenFlo to drop another 5 pounds from his skinny frame or fight WWs?

I like things the way they are. If guys like Randy or Fedor can't handle Brock then they can drop to LHW. Guys like Mir and Nog would still be fighting Lesnar at HW so it really makes no sense.

+1, and I'd raise the heavy limit as well. 205-235 235-285. Maybe not just yet, but def in a couple years.

If the weight limit is 235, then a guy who comes into the cage at 245(like Mir and Nog) could easily make that cut.

Nah, all the best cruiserweights like Rey Mysterio Jr, Juventud Guerrera, La Parka, and Super Crazy are all signed to different companies.

What's your motto?

Gotta say I like the idea... Expand the roster by absorbing the WEC, have BW (135) and FW(145), add CW (206-235) expand HW from 236 to 275 and have a SHW class of giants from 276 to 350... Oh, and we need some girl fights as well in the UFC... Oh, and maybe a class for "little people"... You know, under 4'-6" for people like Sherk...

Why would Nog be fighting Lesnar? His twin brother is a LHW. You can't say he's not a natural LHW then can you? Certainly he'd be a "cruiserweight".
