Where the fights happen

UFC divisions

Championship bouts are contested at the limit; non-title bouts allow a one-pound allowance. The notes are SportsArena365's own reading of each division, not a statistic.

Men's divisions

  • Flyweight

    125 lb / 56.7 kg

    The fastest division on the roster; volume and footwork usually beat power.

    Champion Not published

  • Bantamweight

    135 lb / 61.2 kg

    Deep and unforgiving — the title has changed hands more often here than almost anywhere.

    Champion Not published

  • Featherweight

    145 lb / 65.8 kg

    Where cardio and finishing power still coexist over five rounds.

    Champion Not published

  • Lightweight

    155 lb / 70.3 kg

    Historically the most crowded queue for a title shot in the sport.

    Champion Not published

  • Welterweight

    170 lb / 77.1 kg

    Wrestling-led control against long strikers; the classic stylistic divide.

    Champion Not published

  • Middleweight

    185 lb / 83.9 kg

    Power arrives without the size penalty of the divisions above.

    Champion Not published

  • Light Heavyweight

    205 lb / 93 kg

    Small rosters, short title reigns and very few decisions.

    Champion Not published

  • Heavyweight

    265 lb / 120.2 kg

    One exchange decides most fights; no other division ends earlier.

    115 lb / 52.2 kg

    The lightest championship division in the promotion.

    Added in 2017 and now the busiest of the women's divisions.

    135 lb / 61.2 kg

    The division the promotion's women's side was built on.
