For non-title bouts, middleweight athletes can weigh in up to 186 pounds, while title fights require athletes to weigh in at or under 185 pounds. The middleweight division has produced some of the most skilled and well-rounded fighters in the sport, such as Anderson Silva, Chris Weidman, and Michael Bisping. Israel Adesanya is the current middleweight champion.
