Women’s Bantamweight

First, a run-down of the particulars:
  • A weight limit of 137 pounds is observed for this list.
  • The lineage was started with the first fight within the weight class between two undefeated fighters.
  • Recordkeeping and regulations (weight classes) were notoriously bad for Women’s MMA.  As a result, we may update this list if new info presents itself.
Your current lineal Bantamweight champion is Kayla Harrison
The full history is below. Note, the colored backgrounds indicate a title change.
