Power Slap Weight Classes Follow MMA Rules
Power Slap organizes matchups by weight division, using the same weight classes and allowances as the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts. The promotion also permits catchweight bouts, so a card may include matchups set between fighters outside a standard division limit. Its current rankings include divisions that were missing from older descriptions of the league, including lightweight and women’s flyweight.
Power Slap Weight Divisions
Power Slap’s official rankings currently list these divisions:
- Men: lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight, heavyweight, and super heavyweight.
- Women: flyweight and featherweight.
Divisions are part of the promotion’s rankings and championship structure. The list can evolve as Power Slap adds competitors and schedules new title bouts, so check the official rankings for the latest divisions and standings.
Weight Limits and Catchweight Bouts
Under Power Slap’s official rules, divisions and weight allowances follow the Unified Rules of MMA. Fighters weigh in before a match; missing the required limit can cost a striker the right to go first and trigger a purse penalty. The rules also permit catchweight matches, in which the competitors agree to a specific limit for that bout rather than competing at a division’s standard allowance.
How to Check a Bout’s Division
For a specific event, use the promotion’s fight-card or weigh-in announcement to confirm the division and each competitor’s official weight. A fighter’s ranking division does not by itself establish the contracted limit for every bout, particularly when the card lists a catchweight.
