Fights that made fighters drop weight classes?

[FlyingDeathKick]

I'm sure there are a lot of examples. Cerrone has done it to multiple fighters. Oliveira, Siver and Jury all decided they were Featherweights after losing to Cerrone. I doubt there are very many other fighters who have directly caused their opponents to switch weight classes but what are some other good examples?? I'm not referring to fighters that moved up in weight for a few fights before deciding to move back down either, I mean fighters who had most their fights at one weight class before getting beaten down to a lower weight class.

It was actually a pretty good fight. DJ was way out sized but gave it a good go. I believe this was before he went full time training.

But on topic of this thread it’s incorrect. MM would have fought 125 all along had it been in the UFC.
