I think eventually it would need to be reviewed, but there just isn't that deep of a heavy-weight division in any organization anymore that would benefit from such a change at this time.

I would like to see a super-heavyweight division added so that we can see some big guys thump skulls. I just don't think the draw is there because historically 265+ guys weren't shredded and marketable. I think this is starting to change.

I walk around at 6'6" and 240lbs and I'm definitely not one of the big guys at the gym. I think when we see more Brock Lesnar-types enter MMA we'll see some weight changes.

The sport will evolve with the fighters.

Guys on the smaller side can always cut weight or utilize their speed advantage.

I'm so sick of babysitting fighters and giving every one a different weight class to be a champ, like boxing's million weight classes, it's so irrelevant. That's what makes Fedor the undisputed king of mma IMO, is the fact that he's a relatively small fighter in an uncapped weight division (in most of the world) and he still rapes everyone he faces.
