What does 165 Pounds represent?
165 pounds (74.84 kg) is the weight class American mixed-martial-arts broadcasts call "welterweight," converting to 74.84 kg in metric. The closest international division is 77 kg in Olympic-style weightlifting and 75 kg in many wrestling federations, so a fighter weighing in at exactly 165 lbs is 160 g over a 75 kg cap and would either cut further or move up. It is also the reference weight US Coast Guard and FAA tables use for the older "average adult passenger" assumption on small craft load calculations, which is why marine operators publishing safety placards for international charters convert their 165-lb default to 75 kg for non-US passengers.
