Also on the Roster

Middleweight is fought at 185 pounds. Title fights have to hit it exactly, everything else gets a one-pound allowance, which is why a middleweight can weigh in at 186 and the bout goes ahead as normal.

Anderson Silva held this belt for nearly seven years and ten straight defences, a run nobody has matched in any division since. It has been a considerably harder title to hold onto ever since he lost it.
