Ultimate Fighting Championship Rounds
Every round in UFC competition is 5 minutes in duration. Title matches have five rounds, and non-title matches have three rounds. There is a one minute rest period in-between rounds.
Weight classes
The UFC currently uses five weight classes:
Lightweight: (146 - 155 lb.)
Welterweight: (156 - 170 lb)
Middleweight: (171 - 185 lb)
Light Heavyweight: (186 - 205 lb)
Heavyweight: (206 - 265 lb)
In addition, there are four other weight classes specified in the Unified Rules which the UFC does not use: Flyweight (0-125 lb.), Bantamweight (126-135 lb.), Featherweight (136-145 lb.), and Super Heavyweight (265 lb. and above).
Attire
All competitors must fight in approved shorts, without shoes or any other sort of foot padding. Shirts, gis or long pants (including gi pants) are not allowed. Fighters must use approved light gloves that allow fingers to grab. These gloves enable fighters to use tremendous punching power without the consequence of an injured or broken hand.
