    I think moving the cap to 285 or even 300 would be a great idea, not enough guys for a whole new weight class tho. But for guys like Greg Hardy, Francis, Derrick Lewis for a while, Brock, etc. those have all had to cut to 265, some of them massive amounts.

      Yep, so does Mark Hunt, Francis Ngannou and Brock Lesnar if he ever returns of course. Probably a few more, but these are all I could think of right now. Stipe Miocic also MIGHT move to SHW if he really wants to but I think it wouldn’t benefit him.

Or Usman and Woodley who’s physiques are giant for 170. And I think 165 speaks for itself, the amount of 155ers that bounced between 155 and 170 like Masvidal, Diaz, RDA, and Cowboy and so on. Don’t mean to get lengthy, but that’s just a few hand picked top contenders and Champions that could create so many new fights we will never see without the 165 division.

    There's a bit of a chicken & Egg issue here. Of course we don't have names of people who would fill the "super heavyweight" bracket right now, because most people who really need that size aren't currently in the sport. The solution would be to doo what boxing does and just have the highest weight class unlimited so you don't exclude huge guys but still don't worry abut not finding enough guys big enough to fill the bracket.

      While this is kind of true in the sense that there isn't going to be a shit load of obese people competing, there is still plenty of fighters that walk around above the 265 limit and they are not fat at all. Ngannou has to cut for 265, so does Brock Lesnar, and Rumble Johnson was also over 265 for quite a while after he retired and it wasn't fat.
      Then you've also got guys like Blaydes, Struve, Lewis, Hunt, Timothy Johnson, Big foot and Ben Rothwell who walk around above 265 at times. So technically, they could open the weight division more for heavy weight, i think a big reason it was capped had to with the fact that it was rewarding super obese people with no athletic ability but just sheer size on them. Which becomes kind of a circus show which a promotion like the UFC wouldn't want, but at the same time, they are the ones in charge of who they sign, so they don't have to pick up super obese fighters and have the power to cut a fighter at any given time if he's becoming a slob in his fights.
