Okay, so I wanted to get a better handle on the different weight classes in women’s MMA, specifically in the UFC. I’ve been watching more fights lately, and I realized I wasn’t totally clear on how the divisions were structured. So, I decided to do a deep dive and get it all sorted out.
First, I pulled up the official UFC website. Figured that was the best place to start, you know, go straight to the source. I scrolled through their fighter rankings, trying to find a section that clearly listed the women’s divisions.
It took a bit of poking around, but I eventually found what I was looking for. They have it broken down pretty clearly, although you have to look at the rankings for each division to get the weight limits. So, here’s what I gathered:
- Strawweight: This is the lightest division, with fighters weighing in at 115 pounds or less.
- Flyweight: Next up is flyweight, where the limit is 125 pounds.
- Bantamweight: The bantamweights come in at 135 pounds max.
- Featherweight: The heaviest is Featherweight at 145 pounds.
After getting the basics from the UFC site, I wanted to see if there was any more detail. I started my research on the internet.
Okay, so after I checked out a few pages, the information just made what I know more solid, it’s all consistent and clear.
So yeah, that’s pretty much it. I feel like I have a much better understanding of the women’s weight classes in the UFC now. It’s not rocket science, but it definitely helps to have it all laid out clearly. I was mostly watching one weight class before, time for more mix!
