10 UFC Fighters Who Should Have Changed Weight Classes Sooner 

Should have mentioned Rob Whittaker, he has had way more success at middleweight than he had at welterweight by far, becoming champ and beating everyone in the top 5 apart from Izzy until his recent defeat to Dricus.

“A middle weight is a light heavyweight with a lot more discipline “

RIP Rumble Johnson. Ya, I can only imagine what his trajectory had been if he'd always fought at light HW. I'm still impressed at what some of these guys can shed for weigh ins. Crazy

I know Covington is on everyones shit list but ive always respected him for fighting at a natural weight

Fighters constantly fighting below their natural weight. Many fighters end up doing better once moving back up to their natural weight.

The hydration test in one FC is a meme at this point.

Anthony Johnson (God rest him) was an absolute monster.Terrifying, softspoken power house of a man. I know the weight cuts were a problem, but his achilles heal was the RNC.

Craziest thing about Rumble was he legitimately had the talent and skills to be a champion in 4 weight classes.

Old strickland just looked majestic

Anthony rumble Johnson making welterweight was crazy. He said himself he was at death door making the weight. RIP rumble

RIP Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. You are missed🙏

“A lot of people talk to me about giving up some size to Babalu, you know I’ve pushed people Babalu’s size out of the way looking for a fight.” The bad guy strikes again 😆

The heaviest Dan hooker weighed was 189, not really a HW. "He has also competed in a heavyweight fight, for which he weighed in at 86 kg / 189 lbs, against Mark Creedy, winning by knockout in the second round."

The clip of du Bronx kinda shows why people thought that he gives up because that fall looked like a ric flair flop!

Honorable mention for Frankie Edgar who, by modern standards, is probabily bantweight.

#1 was obvious. RIP Rumble.

still waiting for the top 10 moments when the fighter talked trash during the fight😢

Lineker still missed weight at 145 in One and was forced to vacate the title.

Full sized out of camp dan hooker vs in camp izzy in sparring will have you thinking dan hooķer could be a top 5 middleweight 😅 if you know, you know

Do 10 fighters whose face has changed the most since their MMAA debut. Please like this. Ive been pitching this video for years now.

That old school Chael line was so good.

Weight cutting is absolutely a thing in competitive Jiu-jitsu. Not to the extreme levels you see in MMA, but plenty of folks are cutting weight to compete. To say it's not really a thing in Jiu-jitsu is completely false.

good job

Good on you for skipping past Chael’s heavyweight run. It wouldn’t have been a good use of bandwidth, it’s painfully obvious he’s the greatest ever at that weight.

Lineker is a fighter with an extensive career, but I always think of that cup shot whenever I see him

LOL funny Bayliun at the end, _you know what I ... mean._

MMA Right On Point 💯

Now i have to go find Dan Hooker fighting at Heavyweight. I refuse to believe it haha

Top 10 UFC Fighters who received a BJJ Belt Promotion after an impressive or dominant UFC Performance

i just recently realized thay sean strickland fought on the undercard of Johnny Hendricks vs Robbie Lawler 1. i musta seen him fight since that was the one in Ft. Worth

A carcaça do strickland e do whitakker é de meio médio mesmo, apesar que as vezes o cara acaba indo melhor numa categoria em que ele é pequeno. Igual o marreta e o rumble johnson que eram monstros e lutavam em categorias menores tb e foram deslanchar quando subiram (os 2 subiram 2 categorias)

Ufc should have 165, 175, and 195 weight class.

I've never seen the guys weighing in with towels lol

I'm rather surprised that Alexa Grasso wasn't mentioned. She always had promise at 115 but it was clear ahe was struggling with the weight. But once she went up to 125, she looked so much healthier and could focus more on her skills than her weight cut. She isn't even a big flyweight, but the results at 125 speak for themselves.

DJ is a good one too

I’d like to see a video with: Longest win streak into retirement Fighters who won all their rematches

I dont know if theres a video on this but how about top 10 fighters with the most controversial wins?

"Weight cutting isn't really that much of a thing in jiu-jitsu" Are you kidding me :P People cut HARD and they fight 15 minutes after weigh-ins. I've seen people running around in rainwear 30 minutes before their weigh-in to throw the last 500g

Where can we find Pancrase T-shirts?

The Hangman as a MW Champ is wild af

5:47 kelvin looks like mike perry

Cant believe Charles fought at featherweight for so long

RIP Rumble

Hey! Uncle Chael got a win against rampage before that ko loss to Fedor

Still wondering how is your voice without the deeeeeeep falcette.

Rumble young man rumble..... R.I.P. Anthony Johnson 🙏

How was DJ not at number 1? He legit went from being ragdolled at 135 to becoming arguably the GOAT by moving down

Undefeated, unsisputed

good work mate... I am in...

I pushed people Babaloo size looking for a fight 🤣🤣

The Anthony “Rumble” Johnson List

I like how they appreciate the Hall of famers so much that they cycle through the names so fast you can’t even read them.

The ufc's hands of stone is Sam stout 😤😤 had the honour to train in the gym with him and Mark the machine while Mark was training for the aldo fight

Probably most people could guess who’s number one before watching the video

Tf you mean 5’10 is short for welterweight 😂

Who wins between prime usman and prime Strickland?

No Robert Whittaker? Guy went 3-2 at Welterweight before moving up to Middleweight going on an 8 fight win streak to become champ, then after losing the belt showed dominating performances over contenders, arguably won back the belt, and sits currently with a record of 12-3 at 185.

No mention of Vitor Belfort? he was a middleweight and has the record for most KO's and he fought as a heavyweight originally then dropped to 205. Just think of what his career would have been like if he was a middle weigh all along. Sadly he only spent half his career at that weight division.

Anthony Smith and Robert Whittaker should be on the list

Based Thirty Days Of Night reference.

RIP Rumble ✊🏾

Weigh ins 7:00am fights 7:00pm. Same day on a calendar.

I need to see Heavyweight Dan Hooker.

Great video as always, I’d just like to point out some inaccuracies. Chael should not be on this list, we’re talking about a guy here who never lost a round, undefeated and undisputed. Chael put the worst beatdown on Silva that Brazil had ever seen (that was until he did the same to Wanderlei). 49-0, biggest arms, greatest charm, inflicts all the harm. The women’s pick, the men’s regret. Remember when you’re the best fighter in the world, they got a name for ya. They don’t call you a great fighter, they call you CHAEL SONNEN. Beat him, if you can.

The biggest weight bullies in LW divisions are Jalin tuner and Dan hooker they look like they could fight in MW 😂

Sent DC flying across the octagon

I miss Rumble. He was a good dude.

I might be in the minority here, but i still think Kelvin Gastelum was better off at 170. If he figured out the discipline issues at the time of his Belfort/Bisping/Adesanya run, but at 170, I think he could have won the belt. Even after the flu and weight miss, the fight with Woodley was close.

Undisputed

Rip Anthony Johnson

Absolute DREAM fight..... heavyweight Rumble vs Francis!!! 😮😮😮

Whittaker or poirier?

Anyone been following Dan Hooker? He has gotten a ton of tattoos in such a short period of time.

Rip rumble Johnson

We havevto find a way to get rid of big weight cuts. Its no good

Rip Rumble

Crazy how normalised this is. Fighting at a lower weight class so you can be bigger come fight night shows me you’re only good when you’re the heavier guy.

Jake Collier is literally reverse Jared Cannonier. Think about it, white guy, JC, he started at MW and jumped to HW😅

To this day, I'm still so pissed about the scale thing with Oliveira.

“Gilbert Burns only lost to the best at Welterweight.” Shows picture of Masvidal and not Belal.

I've joked about weight shrinking.may as well get fat.i wanna see fighters gain 50 lbs and just give er

If two dudes who weigh 200 lbs cut 30 lbs to make 170, then there's not really a "size advantage" is there?...

Colby should’ve been at LW

Cannonier

Coutinho me trouxe aqui

Dan Hooker should change promotions not weight classes, back to the regionals

No Oliveira or Whittaker is blasphemy

I'm not saying Sean is on steroids, but...

hear me out... welterweight oliveira sounds terrifying

FRANKIE EDGAR??!?!?!?

John Jones probably should be number 1, for whatever reason not on here, why because he fought that 1 fight at heavyweight.

What about Robert Whittaker ? Started at welterweight won TUF had a half decent run. Moves up to middleweight and the rest is history

kelvin gastelum shouldn't be there, he is an undisciplined welterweight who should fight at welterweight and was really undersized as a midleweight.

3:40 sounds russian a little bit. Danislov Hookchev

AI has gone so far now with imagery of chael losing. Undefeated. Undisputed.

8:29 cite your sources the bad guy never loss. This Ai is getting out of hand.

All fans that are wondering how Rumble made 170, its easy to answer... WIZARDRY!! What am absolute legend, gone way too soon. Rest In Power.

Dustin Poirier?

After 15 years, even professional MMA MFers still can't spell Oliveira's name correctly.

Rob whittekar??
