About this converter
UFC title limits run 115 to 265 pounds across 12 divisions. Women strawweight sits at 115, flyweights at 125, bantamweights at 135, featherweights at 145, lightweight at 155, welterweight at 170, middleweight at 185, light heavyweight at 205 and heavyweight at 265 with a 205 floor. Nine distinct limits cover the twelve classes since men and women share 125, 135 and 145. Non-title bouts allow 1 pound over, so 116 for 115 and 266 for 265. Title fights must hit the exact number.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 heavyweight against strawweight to see the two point three to one gap. Switch to kilos for metric camps.
Women featherweight at 145 keeps no ranked roster or champion since Nunes retired, but the limit stays official. Champions named in notes date to 2024 to 2026 reports and change with results. Catchweight bouts set custom limits by contract and stay out. ONE Championship and Bellator use different classes and stay out.
