Super heavyweight (MMA)

The super heavyweight division in mixed martial arts has no weight limit but generally refers to competitors weighing above 265 lb (120 kg).

[2] Across Europe and Asia, there are numerous promotions that feature open-weight competitions that qualify as super heavyweight bouts.

One such example is in Japan, where mixed martial arts organizations are not obligated by law to implement weight classes.

Many open-weight bouts are designed around the theme of matching an extraordinarily large fighter against a much smaller but more skilled opponent.

Aside from open-weight competitions, the division has never been fully endorsed by any major promotion (except for the open weight bouts of MFC, M-1, and DREAM).
