UFC Lightweight Championship

The UFC Lightweight Championship is a title awarded to the top fighter in the lightweight division, which includes competitors weighing up to 155 pounds. The champion is recognized as the best in that weight class, defending the title against top contenders through sanctioned mixed martial arts bouts. The title is prestigious, symbolizing excellence and dominance in the division. Champions often unify their status by winning multiple fights, and the belt can change hands if a challenger defeats the reigning champion in a match. It is one of the most competitive and celebrated titles in the UFC.
