I think that it is a good idea, what if they UFC or any of these MMA organizations took on more weights, that would mean that they have to have a champ in each division. That would water down "Champion" status quite a bit.

I thinks it's total crap. Jesus, look at all of that shit. Of course, I guess BJ could be the champ in 10 weight classes then. Ok, it's got my vote!

It will water down the sport, like Boxing. And it will confuse the fans. Dana already said that he isn't going to do it.

They should add more classes. The UFC should have at least 8 weight classes, it would be a lot better. There could be a title fight every PPV
