I don't disagree with that proposition but there are only so many slots you can have in a show. Accommodating 3 weight classes is the issue here. I know EXR were running Featherweight fun time warm up bouts before the start of the show which are non-spinner but I do get it, you would ideally want to run in the main show.Having two rumbles and maybe capping weapon energy in at least one of them would be a better solution.
I guess you'd either want to extend the show runtime or rejig how HWs and MWs compete in a show to create the space for a second FW melee.
For Maidstone certainly, that just wouldn't be practical. Space was so tight, the camera used to record the after-show interviews was being moved forwards and backwards. I also have qualms about the pit space there but that is a different discussion.Its also very hard to see anything in that arena, especially if you are behind a crowd of people. Maybe something for people in the back row to stand on would help with that.
