Does anyone else agree that we need to break up the Heaveyweight division in MMA?
Every since the Randy Couture loss to Lesnar, I can't help to feel that we are missing a great, highly competitive weight class. I realize that there are a few that enjoy watching the freakshow beat downs of a David vs. Goliath variety, but most are looking for closely matched, competitive fights. This pretty much exisists in all of the MMA weight classes except the Heaveyweights.
Think about it, guys walking around in the 300lbs+ variety (i.e. Lesnar) up against guys who choose not to cut at all but walk around at 230-240ish are really bad matchups. What you end up with is in many cases a lesser skilled oponent powering out of positions and moves strictly due to his size advantage. That is about as enteraining and relavent as the Fedor vs. Aoki grappling match earlier this week. BORING!
I say, break up the Heaviess into 205 - 230 and Super-Heavies at 230 - 265. Makes sense to me.
