For a variety of reasons (largely historical), weight classes of the same name can be of vastly different weights. For example, a boxing middleweight weighs up to 72 kg (160 lb), an ISKA middleweight upper limit is 75 kg (165 lb), and a K-1 middleweight upper limit is 70 kg (154 lb).
The upper limit was set at 175 lb (79.4 kg). In 2019, Bahrain-based promotion Brave Combat Federation revised its welterweight division and title from 170 lbs to 175 lbs and the super welterweight. They also renamed the BRAVE CF Welterweight Championship to the BRAVE CF Super Welterweight Championship.

The MMA welterweight class is therefore significantly heavier than the welterweight class of these other sports. For the sake of uniformity, many American mixed martial arts websites refer to competitors between 156 and 170 lb (71 and 77 kg) as welterweights. This encompasses the Shooto middleweight division (167 lb / 76 kg).
