Light weights = 155 lbs and under (Jens Pulver, BJ Penn, Caol Uno, Rumina Sato etc.)
Welter weights = 155 - 170 lbs (Matt Hughes, Carlso Newton, Robby Lawlor, Frank Trigg etc.)
Middle weights = 170 - 185 lbs (Matt Lindland, Phil Baroni, Murilo Bustamante, Kazushi Sakuraba etc.)
Light Heavyweights = 185 - 205 lbs (Tito Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva, Quinton Jackson, Chuck Liddell etc.)
Heavyweights = 205 - 265 lbs (Gan McGee, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, Frank Mir, Wes Sims etc.)
If you still think I'm wrong you can go check UFC, KOTC, or Pride FC's website, and they will set you straight.
