List of King of the Cage champions
King of the Cage (KOTC) is a United States–based mixed martial arts organization founded in 1998. This article lists KOTC champions by weight class. While KOTC follows the Unified Rules for most divisions, it uses some different names for certain weights: the 145-pound division is called Bantamweight, the 135-pound division Flyweight, and the 125-pound division Light Flyweight. KOTC also has a Super Heavyweight division for fighters over 265 pounds. In addition, KOTC created three exclusive divisions not in the original Unified Rules: 165-pound Light Welterweight, 230-pound Cruiserweight, and 195-pound Super Middleweight. These divisions were later added to the Unified Rules, with Light Welterweight later being referred to as Super Lightweight.
The list includes champions for each weight class and covers notable title defenses. It also highlights fighters who defended their titles three times or more, as well as those with the most championship wins. Openweight and Superfight champions are not included in this list.
