Here’s why: you have 10lb jumps from 115# up to 165# where you then go to 5# jumps until 175 only to then jump back to 10# jumps up until 205 where you then increase to a 20# jump
It’s a lot more difficult for a lighter guy or girl to fight up 10#s than the 165-170-175#rs. The lighter fighters should do the 5-8# jumps then increase to 10# jumps.
I’d be fine with a 225# class though. I’d also be fine with going
155-165-175-185-195/205-225-HW or something based more on bigger weight jumps happening at the higher weights.

That's from my spectators perspective if I was fighting then more weight classes is more opportunities for more fighters

I think that the fighters asking for more weight classes are just looking for an easier path to a title. The more weight classes there are, the less value and prestige to the championships, in my opinion.
