Here’s the part that explains why your post was moved,
General comments like, “I’m just a beginner in grappling, but I too find the spider guard useful.”, or “Good job!” will not be tolerated as they are of no value to knowledgeable grapplers. Additionally, if a post contains information already stated in a previous post, it will be removed.
Your comment was a general one. Please read the stickie I linked to above. If you had been a member here for more than six months, you would have received an infraction for your post. This is also explained in the stickie.
Be advised, you have now been formally warned. Posting off topic or low content posts in the Advanced Grappling Forum in the future will result in infractions.
Fine, could you at least answer the question? What is light featherweight?
Is there any reason why you are incapable of typing BJJ+light featherweight into Google?
Your fingers seem to be working fine when you typed the above question.
And no, I don’t know what weight class, light featherweight is. I am familiar with the boxing terms bantamweight and rooster weight being under featherweight. I’ve never heard of “light featherweight”.

Hence why I asked the guy who was cutting weight to get there. You’re supposed to be the jits guru and even you don’t know…
Found this on wiki. I’ve never seen or heard of these weightclasses being stacked this way in any compitition.
Current weight divisionsUltra Heavyweight: over 221.0 lbs (+100.5 kg), Super Heavyweight: under 221.0 lbs (-100.5 kg), Heavyweight: under 207.5 lbs (-94.3 kg), Medium Heavyweight: under 194.5 lbs (-88.3 kg), Middleweight: under 181.0 lbs (-82.3 kg), Lightweight: under 167.5 lbs (-76 kg), Featherweight: under 154.0 lbs (-70 kg), Light Featherweight: under 141.0 lbs (-64 kg), Roosterweight: under 126.5 lbs (-57 kg)
From the IBJJF’s site because you might want to look at the sanctioning body’s website for weight class info.
Light Feather is technically feather in portuguese as it is called pluma, whereas what we call feather is pena.

The MMA equivalent to light featherweight would be Bantam weight. In BJJ light feather is 141 with Gi and 136 without gi. Google is your friend.
