How do weight classes work in MMA?

There are 15 weight classes in the MMA, which all increase by 10 lb (approximately 5 kg) or 5 lb in a few cases. The lowest weight class is the Atomweight at 105 lb (47.6 kg), and the highest weight class is the Super Heavyweight which has no upper limit and is for fighters with weights upwards of 265 lb (120.2 kg). 

Women’s MMA usually has their own division with some additional weight classes that are exclusive to women.
