As MMA has grown, it had to deal with a small number of people involved which meant few weight classes. Boxing was like this. I think boxing weight classes didn't really expand until the 1960s.
When the UFC was initially set up, there were no weight classes. As it's grown, weight classes have been added.

I think at some point you dilute the meaning of being a champ if you add in too many weight classes. Seeing boxers with a hundred different belts from 10 different weight classes separated by a half pound across multiple organizations always looked dumb to me
