Frequently asked questions
Why do MMA fighters cut weight?
To gain a size advantage — by dehydrating before weigh-ins and rehydrating before the fight, fighters can appear in a lighter weight class. ONE Championship now uses hydration testing to prevent this, requiring fighters to fight at their natural weight.
What's the most competitive UFC weight class?
Lightweight (155 lbs/70.3 kg) and Welterweight (170 lbs/77.1 kg) are historically considered the deepest divisions with the most elite talent.
