The UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship (Campeonato Mundial Semi Completo de UWA in Spanish) is a singles professional wrestling championship initially promoted by the Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling based promotion Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) from 1975 until the UWA closed in 1995 and since then been defended on the Mexican independent circuit until 2007.

[a][1] Chessman was the last UWA Light Heavyweight champion recognized by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración having defeated El Zorro in April, 2007.

In the finals he lost to El Mesias by disqualification, while the title does not change hands on a disqualification the UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship was eliminated as the purpose of the tournament was to find one top champion and clear up the muddled championship picture in AAA.

[b] On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time.

This can either be due to a storyline,[c] or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship,[d] or leaving the company.
