The UFC competition is divided into 8 levels, ranging from126-265 lbs (60 kg-120kg). Although the lightest weight class is far from other levels in strength, their advantages in speed and flexibility can be fully reflected.
Players can also change their competition level according to the increase or decrease of weight. But when a player gains weight and enters a heavier level, his speed advantage will be weakened. On the contrary, if the player loses weight and enters a lighter level, his strength will also be weakened.
Extended data
UFC grades: sub-lightweight (57kg), youth (57kg ~ 6 1kg), featherweight (62kg~66kg), lightweight (66kg~70kg), welterweight (7 1kg ~ 77kg) and middleweight (70kg).
Generally speaking, before the competition, players will be overweight 10- 15 pounds (about 6-8 kilograms). At this time, the contestants will pass professional and arduous training, reduce their weight to the specified requirements before weighing, and must strictly follow the nutritional needs until the competition begins. However, because the contestants have the same weight during the competition, neither side will benefit from the opponent's weight loss before the competition.
