  1. Who’s the uncrowned peoples champ at 165lbs????
    Askren
    Lee
    RDA
    Khabib
    What’s everybody’s thoughts here???

  2. Why not have a 165? The only thing u would have to do is move welterweight to 175 IMO. Can't keep it at 170 with a weight division only 5 lbs away. The best part is that a 165 division would have a ton of potential killers from 155-175 to draw from.

  3. This "Double Champ" thing going around is on the verge of getting stale. Everyone wants to win the belt and move up or down to fight the other champ, and it's not really justified. The Champ should at least have to defend their belt a few times before he/she can move up or down. GSP, Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones are guys that set the formula for what a true Double Champ should be. The upcoming fight between Amanda Nunez vs Cris Cyborg is another perfect example of a true Double Champ type fight. Both have dominated their divisions and are truly fighting to see who is the baddest woman on the planet. Let's back up on the Double Champ talk until it's deserved or it will become stale very quickly. It's a good formula and keeps us interested.
