KOd Izzy who was undefeated @ MW and clear standing champ
KOd Jiri who was the real LHW champ. Had to vacate due to "injury" but was still there when Jamahal got a paper belt. Hadnt lost in 8 years and 13 fight win streak.
Other legit double champs
Randy - beat Mo Smith for HW title, beat Chuck for LHW title. Questionable case since the best LHW/HWs were in PRIDE so his LHW "title" is more like a Bellator title than beating the best
BJ - was clear no. 1 LW as champ, beat Gomi in Shooto back in day to cement in. Moved up and choked out Hughes who hadnt lost in years for WW title.
Hendo - beat Bustamante for MW title. Bustamante was last UFC MW champ before he left. His losses after came @ LHW. Then Hendo KOd Wand for LHW title. Wand one is questionable since many had Shogun/Arona as better than Wand by that point as Hunt and Mirko fights really ended his prime bad but he still had title.
GSP - WW champ, and Bisping as weak a champ as he was was the no. 1 MW
Conor - dethroned Aldo and Eddie while a weak champ was no.1 LW
Fake double champs
DC - beat Rumble for LHW title while no. 1 LHW Jon was active, never dethroned Jon. Paper champ LHW.
Jon - beat Gane for title while no. 1 Francis was active, never dethroned Francis. Paper champ HW.
Henry - robbery over Mighty Mouse for FLW title, then a vacant BW title against Marlon Moraes who was never no.1 BW

Considering Izzy was EASILY best MW in all of MMA and Jiri was LHW in all of MMA including fighters from other promotions Vadim has a good case but Jiri beat him. Alex double champ status is more impressive than most these guys since there was no question he beat THE guy to be THE guy.
