Many fighters have spoken out about why the UFC should add a 165 pound division. One of the most outspoken about this division is Kevin Lee. Lee believes the division could easily be filled with many fighters from lightweight and welterweight. It’s certain that 165 would bring many talented fighters from the weights around it.
