Fighters considered big for their division who moved down.

[codfather]

Gray Maynard was supposed to be a huge lightweight and moved down to featherweight.
Yushin Okami was considered one of the biggest middleweights and he went down to welterweight.
I want to say Michael Johnson was thought to be one of the bigger lightweights and he moved to featherweight.
I always thought Edson Barboza had a big frame for a lighweight, but he cut to featherweight.
This probably applies to Kenny Florian also.

Who else?
