As our beloved sport evolves, it needs to have more weight divisions. Look at almost any combat sport - wrestling, judo, boxing - there are plenty of weight divisions because especially at the highest levels, small differences in weight (and consequently strength, mass, etc.) affects the contest.
There should be at least 6 weight divisions in MMA. And that's up to the different organizers to figure out the cutoffs. A 20 lbs. difference is too much at this level, or any level.
