actually i don't see why you couldn't just remove the weight limit on heavyweight and make it an actual heavyweight division. in boxing the unlimited weight champions are like 250lb and not fat at all.
Yeah but cruiserweight is needed, because the jump is from LHW (205 pounds) straight to heavyweight (265). Sure, the talent is there to overcome, like JDS being the champion now and Frankie Edgar being the champ at LW before that, but it will likely eventually be a problem. I'm thinking 225 or 230. And then sure, make the HW unlimited .. we don't have to worry about (more) bulbous guys in there because the UFC only signs who they want
