Atomweight (MMA)

The atomweight division in mixed martial arts generally refers to competitors weighing at or less than 105 lb (48 kg; 7.5 st). It sits below the heavier strawweight division and is the lightest weight class widely recognized within MMA.

The atomweight division in mixed martial arts is not defined by the Unified Rules and is used almost exclusively for Women's MMA.
