Ohio to test new amateur cruiserweight division, alters double-weigh-in guidelines
Wanting to gather data that could someday bring about a change to the professional mixed-martial-arts ranks, the Ohio Athletic Commission on May 1 will implement a new cruiserweight division for the state’s amateur fighters.
The division, which ranges from 206 to 225 pounds, will limit the one-time 60-pound range in the heavyweight division to 40 pounds (226 to 265 pounds).
But Bernie Profato, executive director of the Ohio Athletic Commission, cautions that we’re unlikely to see the weight class – one long supported by many in the MMA community – anytime soon in MMA’s unified rules.
