The Middleweight weight division is for fighters who weigh a minimum of 170 lbs and a maximum of 185 lbs.
It is one of the most scintillating of all of the UFC’s weight classes to watch, due to the diverse range of talent which always seems to make it’s way into the weight class.
Middleweight is where the legendary Anderson Silva made his record-breaking title run, where he defended the belt 10 times over the longest period of time which any UFC fighter has ever held a UFC belt for consecutively.
It has also produced legendary fighters such as; Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker, Rich Franklin, Michael Bisping, Luke Rockhold, Yoel Romero & Lyoto Machida. It has also produced some of the greatest UFC Champions of all time.
UFC rankings are decided by a panel of MMA media members, who have nothing to do with the UFC itself. Here are the most highly ranked Middleweight fighters in the UFC:
