UFC: Why Nate Diaz's Idea to Add Three New UFC Fat Divisions Is Practical

It wasnat all that long ago that critics and fans were calling for the UFC to add more weight courses to add to the light, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions; and luckily, they did. Now with ten divisions for the males, the UFC can continue steadily to pull more and more skill to the fold, especially from other countries where smaller fighters are more prevalent. Itas only natural, really: since the sport grows, so does the organization, and with more and more talent gathered, the house must expand, until everybody else loves resting five-to-a-room. But recently, Nate Diaza'after putting up with his first ever KO/TKO defeat, at the arms and toes of Josh Thompsona'took to twitter with an interesting observation. In the beginning, this might be taken as only a fighter wanting special concern for personal gain; all things considered, what fighter doesnat want to be a champion? But upon closer examination, it begins to create sense, at the very least partly. There may be some serious benefits to the sport if more weight classes were added, primarily based around the fact that the 10-pound distinction between the classes produces a broad difference when one fighter goes up into a section that is saturated in competitors reducing 15 pounds or more to make the weight. Needless to say, weight cutting is a part of the fight game, and it always will be, but more weight lessons may help make for more aggressive bouts by thinning out the weight advantages. But if we're really going to be honest, putting categories at 163 pounds (super light or junior welterweight), 178 pounds (super welterweight or junior middleweight) and 193 pounds (super middleweight) appears to be to be taking aim in the wrong guidelines. There are still many competitors out there that are going to be too small for the current seven categories the UFC has prepared, as the UFC continues to go worldwide. To date, the lightest section includes a basement of 116 pounds, that might wind up making several future practitioners from the departments without any place to ply their trade on the biggest stage. A senior flyweight course (105 pounds to 115 pounds) could be created to ensure smaller practitioners from Mexico, Brazil, Japan, China and other nations could enter into the UFC; whenever you go through the lower weight lessons in boxing, virtually every single champion from 122 pounds and lower is from another country, and a number of them are near getting the next celebrities in boxing, such as for instance Nonito Donaire. After that, putting divisions at 163 pounds and 178 pounds will be about so far as the organization should get things: after all, the more a weighs, the more he can manage the weight cut; no matter how defectively some may want to spread these weight divisions out, if they become too thin, the belts hold lesser worth. However for Diaz, it is unlikely that any categories above 155 is likely to be included next four years, due to the fact the UFC is moving in several different guidelines simultaneously. Also, putting more sections and thus crowning more champions doesn't guarantee more Superfights; those rare species of fights arenat occurring now primarily because champions need to remain champions for provided that they can, and moving up even five pounds in weight is more than many fighters with gold around their waist are willing to risk. Therefore, for the present time, eight sections and eight winners may be the standard, and actually, it isnat a bad one at that.
