Weight classes are divisions of competition used to match competitors against others of their own size. This reduces the exclusion of smaller athletes in sports where physical size gives a significant advantage. Weight classes are used in a variety of sports, especially Combat Sports (such as Boxing , Judo , Wrestling , and Mixed Martial Arts ). The existence of weight divisions gives rise to the practice of Weight Cutting . It is generally considered an advantage to be the largest individual in a weight division, therefore some athletes will work hard to lose weight through Dieting and Dehydration prior to weigh-ins.
