Whats the deal?
It's by organization. For example, UFC has very strict weight classes. Others do not. So if you are starting out it would be specific to the organization you are in. For example they had that Sumo wrestler fight Royce Gracie on Dec 31, 2004 in K1 Dynamite. I think the guy weighed 485 and Royce was 170.

To answer you question the UFC is:

Weight classes:
Lightweight - over 145 lbs. to 155 lbs.
Welterweight - over 155 lbs. to 170 lbs.
Middleweight - over 170 lbs. to 185 lbs.
Light Heavyweight - over 185 lbs. to 205 lbs.
Heavyweight - over 205 lbs. to 265 lbs.
