The organization which is in charge of the unified rules of MMA is going to consider a major change to the weight classes. Nothing will be decided until August at the earliest.
The proposal is to add many new weight classes and have: 115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205, 225, 265 (heavyweight), and super heavyweight.
The UFC and other promoters are not obligated to use every division, but if this passed the UFC would have to make at least one change since the 170 pound division would no longer exist. They'd have to at least move 170 down to 165 or up to 175.
If we wanted to keep the same number of divisions, then after lightweight I'd go 175, 195, 225, 265. Slowly introduce new classes between those numbers as the talent pool justifies it.
