Unified Rules of MMA now includes 14 weight classes

Stay connected for news and updates
The Association of Boxing Commissions has updated the Unified Rules of MMA to include a total of fourteen weight classes for men and ten weight classes for women.

The major changes are the additions of the the super lightweight, super welterweight and super middleweight divisions. Ten pounds separate each division instead of the current fifteen-twenty pounds.

Keep in mind the new divisions are suggested and not required to be adopted by state commissions. The UFC has no plans to expand past its current five weight classes.

The recent amendments were prepared and submitted by Armando Garcia, Dale Kliparchuk, Nick Lembo, Timothy J. Lueckenhoff and "Big" John McCarthy.
