Hey everyone, I was thinking about how the Flyweight and Bantamweight divisions are really neglected right now, and I think combining weight classes could make things way more interesting. Thoughts? Concerns? I'm not 100% sold on it yet since I kinda like my flyweights, but I'd gladly dump my Bantamweights lmao

So some practical clarifications:
- If we did this, the women would be properly unified into the new weightclass, meaning I would lower the huge spread between FWs and BWs, making one proper weightclass (likely closer to BW, packing the muscle pounds on the lighter women).
- If we did this, teams would be asked to choose which 2 female fighters they wanted to keep. The remainder would be shed into free agency.
- If we did this, Eye and Nunes would fight to unify the belt for a single female champion
- If we did this, there's a VERY good chance I would scrap the whole "You get 18 free points but Justin choses where they go", since almost all of those points were going towards neglected women that became near-impossible to book.
- If we did this, we could still theoretically return to 2 female weightclasses in the future, if people felt the need.
- If we did this, I would consider offering a small consolation refund for teams who have spent a good amount of points on their 3rd and 4th women.
- If we did this, Austin would be donating Valentina Shevchenko to your team!

Claudia Gadelha was one of my next targets for upgrade work - so personally I’d rather keep them separated out

Like munching on all the easy sheep, Wolfie? Everybody can do what I did But then they get eliminated in Round 1 of the GP! Also, the problem is nobody hardly upgrades their flyweights except for us, Bullies, and Hale Storm. I'm not dead set on combining weight classes, but I think you guys should consider the exciting matchups that could be had at the new weight if it did happen. I definitely know The Hale Storm will be against this. |

The Sandman can we consider allowing certain women to move up in weight? I'd love to move Shevchenko to 135 and pick up a new FW to work on if we're going to stay on the current route.

No. Too complicated with ratings scale. Plus if people abandon the weightclass its pointless for it to exist in the first place |
