Why does the UFC limit heavyweight to 265?

It seems they should either have no cut off or have a super heavyweight division. People like to see behemoths go at it!

I've heard MANY others make this same comment. Definitely would be a very interesting division.

When I was high school wrestler, our heavy weight guy had to wrestle a Samoan guy that was 320lbs. That was was the funniest match I've ever seen. Two blubber balls rolling on the floor. They needed a shop vac to vacumn up all the sweat from those two guys. LOL It would be awesome to see some super duper heavy weights rip each other's heads off in the octagon. LOL

I assume the upper weight limit is there to stop fights, like Kimbo vs Dada 5000. But the weight cut made that fight more dangerous, so was counter intuitive

In general, I'd prefer fighters just spend their training camps perfecting their skills, instead of cutting 60lbs

I agree with this,
They should have many more weight devisions so as people can fight at there personal optimal weight
