Known as the full name is Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC first launched the ranking of boxers in 2013. This ranking was chosen by UFC members, with the purpose of fighter order according to the level and creating a pair of balance, towards championship.
As a private organization to organize martial arts events, UFC gathered the best boxers in the professional martial arts genre – MMA. That is the reason for them to build a ranking of martial artists competing, as well as champions in many weight classes.
At the present time, UFC has a total of 11 weighing classes, including 3 women's weight classes (Strawweight, Flyweight, Bantamweight) and 8 weight classes of men: Flyweight, Bantamweight, Featherweight, Lightwight, Welterweight, Middlewight, Light Heavyweight and Heavywight.
In the coming time, UFC said they are considering organizing an additional weight for female fighters. This weight is likely to be less than 48kg (featherweight). This is part of the potential Asian market exploration plan of UFC.
With the victory that had just won against Glover Teixeira, Jira Prochazka became UFC's youngest champion at the present time. The puncher is playing at the Light Heavyweight weight -to -class, but has just won the belt competition at the age of 29 with an Jujitsu lock.
