UFC 165-Pound Mock Draft | Luke Thomas


Is it possible to make a 165-pound division in the UFC? We tried to play with the idea on my radio show, holding a mock draft. With names like Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Kevin Lee, Georges St-Pierre and more, is there enough talent to go around? We experiment with the idea to see if it’s possible.



The Luke Thomas Show airs weekdays, 3 to 6pm ET, on SiriusXM RUSH, channel 93.

  1. Luke could you get some foam sound baffles for the walls in your home studio. The echo sounds like you are recording in a bathroom

  2. If you make 165 and 185 gets thinner because of guys dropping down to 175 it doesn't hurt the prestige of the 185 division. This is because having another division "165" makes guys fighting at 185 seem more like heavyweight fighters because there are 6 divisions below them and only 2 above them.

  3. In no particular order:
    1. Wonderboy Thompson
    2. Khabib Nurmagomedov
    3. Kevin Lee
    4. Georges St Pierre
    5. Colby Covington
    6. Rafael Dos Anjos
    7. Donald Cerrone
    8. Michael Chiesa
    9. Gunnar Nelson
    10. Jorge Masvidal
    11. Paul Felder
