Revision as of 16:35, 29 July 2009
This is a list of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champions at each weight class.[1]
At the time of the UFC's inception in 1993, the sport of mixed martial arts was unsanctioned in the United States, and it did not include weight classes. Instead of the traditional championship model, tournaments were held with the winner receiving a permanent appellation.[2] In response to criticism from Senator John McCain that saw the loss of its television deal and the banning of the sport in thirty-six states, the UFC increased its cooperation with state athletic commissions and introduced weight classes in 1997.[3]
The original codification for weight classes introduced only two divisions: heavyweight, which grouped competitors above 200 pounds (91 kg), and lightweight, which encompassed all other competitors. The UFC would later rename its lightweight division to middleweight and add lightweight 170 pounds (77 kg) and bantamweight 155 pounds (70 kg) divisions. In 2000, the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board completely took over regulation in its home state, and its rules and weight classes became the de facto rule set for mixed martial arts.[4] The UFC realigned their weight classes to comply with the new regulations in 2001.[5]
