The Future of UFC: Anthony Pettis and Weight Class Evolution


The world of UFC is a dynamic and ever-evolving arena, demanding constant adaptation and innovation. In the ninth episode of the OverDogs Podcast, Anthony Pettis shared his vision for the future of UFC, particularly focusing on the potential evolution of weight classes. Pettis voiced a compelling argument for refining the existing weight class system, proposing a narrower weight range of ten pounds between each class.

The rationale behind this proposition is to address the prevalent issue of extreme weight cuts, which can have adverse effects on fighters’ health and performance. Pettis argued that the proposed change would encourage healthier weight management practices and ensure fairer and more competitive matchups. It is a step towards fostering a culture of safety and longevity within the sport.
