The UFC has no plans to create a super lightweight (165 lbs) division as of yet. Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier wanted to fight in that weight class at UFC 230, but the push never materialized into anything. Still, there’s merit to the division, but sources tell me the UFC doesn’t think they have enough card space to accommodate it. If that’s the case, why keep men’s flyweight around? Demetrious Johnson has lost his title, Sergio Pettis is bumping back up to bantamweight and champion Henry Cejudo’s next fight won’t even be in the weight class. I don’t need to see the flyweight division eliminated, but if it’s a choice? I’m going with super lightweight.

Do away with 125 wt. class.
165 for sure
165 hands down. 155 and 170 are both stacked. Why is 170 even a thing anyways? 10 lbs every weight class, and then 15 randomly? Also, just not interested in flyweight. Demetrious is awesome, and I'm a big Horiguchi fan, but outside of those two I just have no interest in watching 5'2 guys fighting.
Make 165 and slow down with all these interim belts.
165 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would rather have 125. All fresh new fighters 165 would just mainly be fighters from 155 and 170 and would thin both divisions too much.
Welterweight would have to change to 175 though only makes sense tighten up the 15lb gap to middleweight
165 all day air day
Both
licks lips But where does Kevin Lee fit into all of this
