We came up with these in 1999.
Though it has been edited since then. In 1999 started with 100lbs-110lbs...and then on up in ten pound intervals
Someone suggested using Strawweight several years ago. We did, and it stuck. Even sherdog uses it now.
Borrowed Pinweight from Muay Thai...but URCC also uses it for 118lbs.
Most of the other terms were in use by Shooto, many years before anyone else used them. Zuffa merely copied Shooto, and then the SAC's adopted them...with the exception of SHW.
