On a recent episode of his podcast, UFC commentator Joe Rogan confirmed that the UFC will be adding more weight classes.
The first division Rogan said the UFC will be adding is a 225-pound division. While this is not yet official, the weight class will likely be called the cruiserweight division.
On the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub asked Rogan if he had heard about the UFC adding a 225-pound division.
“They are, yeah,” Rogan said about the new weight class. “They’re also going to do a 10lbs up. They’re going to do 155lbs, 165lbs, and 175lbs.”
Rumors have been spreading about the UFC adding new weight classes due to new weight cutting protocols made by the state of California. The state has approved new rules which will result in them cracking down on fighters doing massive weight cuts.
