Tim Means Fought From Lightweight To Light Heavyweigt!!!

[Mohawk Banditó]

Jens Pulver fought from lightweight down to flyweight

And up to MW in pro boxing (160)

Fought at WW, actually was Shooto WW champion (<169lbs). Not sure if he fought in some HW/Openweight bout

You’re half right. In Shooto <169lbs was called Middleweight - but I stand corrected

Not to mention that weird Hawaiian 175 lbs (IIRC) "WW" tourney when he disqualified himself against Okami...Old times were fun.

PD: Not many people remember Ando signing to fight UFC 36 with Matt Hughes for the belt at WW, and the fallout drama with Dana threarening litigation in the pages of Full Contact Fighter Magazine, when he signed with PRIDE right afterwards ...

BTW, he did fight Jeremy Horn in an openweight bout.
Silva weighted in at 185lbs, Horn did at 200lbs
An underrated pre-UFC win for Anderson.

Not sure what makes Tim Means a gatekeeper. What gate does he keep?
He is a tough, fun, solid UFC journeyman, which is very respectable.

Pretty sure Sakuraba fought 170-openweight

Yup, that dude didn't give a fuck.

Royce? No problem.
Rampage? Eh, why not.
Randleman? I'll try.
Igor? *Takes a long drag of a cigarette* fuck it, let's fight.

This is why Sak is so much more awesome than his win-loss record shows.

He should have been 170 or 185 his whole career.

The fact that he beat some ELITE 205ers is insane.

He could actually be a LW by modern standards of weight cutting

Just realized that Tim Means fought across four weight classes. That's crazy!!

I can only think of Rumble Johnson (welterweight to heavyweight) and BJ Penn (Featherweight to Middleweight/Open weight) doing the same.

Any Sherbros who can name others?

Tim Means weighing in for welterweight.

Well, if you have the means, then why not?


Tim had the means to do it. Not everyone does.
