The professional wrestling CMLL World Welterweight Championship has been held by 20 different champions since its creation in 1992. The championship is promoted by the Mexican Lucha Libre promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), based in Mexico City. The official definition of the Welterweight class in Mexico is between 70 kg (150 lb) and 78 kg (172 lb). Fuerza Guerrera was the first champion, having defeated El Khalifa in the finals of a four-man tournament in February 1992. Guerrera also held the championship for the shortest time, 22 days. Mephisto is the current champion; he is on his second reign as CMLL World Welterweight Champion, and is the 32nd overall champion having defeated Máscara Dorada (pictured) in May 2016. Mephisto holds the record for longest individual title reign, at 1,141 days for his first reign, as well as the longest combined reigns at 4,240 and counting. (Full list...)
