Featherweight (martial arts)

Featherweight is a weight class in martial arts, especially combat sports like boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), and kickboxing. It typically includes fighters weighing up to approximately 126 pounds (57 kilograms). The division emphasizes speed, agility, and technique due to the lighter weight. Competitors in this class are often known for quick striking and fast movement, making fights dynamic and often highly technical. The specific weight limits can vary slightly depending on the organization or sport.
