This thread isn't really about whether you agree with making 165 and 175 or not. Let's assume, for the sake of this thread, that there is an overall favorable opinion towards the creation of those two weight classes. With Dana White consistently saying it will never happen and the things he often does, would Coker be smart to create those changes first? He might even allow the winner of his WW tournament to decide whether that belt will go with them to 165 or 175 when the tournament is over.
The problem is obvious. Bellator obviously doesn't have anywhere near the depth of the UFC, and therefore may not be able to sustain another division right now. Then again, Bellator allows a lot more moving around in weight anyway and has done a good job of pulling over free agents for new opportunities. Working with Rizin and making some clever moves COULD potentially make this a game-changing move for them.
How do you all feel about this?
