"I dont cut much weight" - Fighters where this is actually true?

I was gonna say Billy shouldn't be used as example since he probably chose not to cut weight due to the fight being on short notice, but i checked and his last fights were at LHW. He also used to fight at MW.

Anyway, Dan Henderson comes to my mind regarding. Hendo used to fight at MW/LHW and basically didnt cut at LHW. I was checking and he had bizarre weights like:

199 lbs weigh-in against Daniel Cormier
202 lbs weigh-in against Shogun II
207 lbs weigh-in against Fedor (HW bout)

They don't make them like Hendo anymore
 
Contrary to popular belief, GSP never cut much weight compared to the rest of the division.
 
I think Nick Diaz used to fight night weight around 176

Hendo was notorious for gassing at 185, which is why he preferred to not cut and fight 205 to heavyweight

To be fair, there is no official data of him, he didnt fought under CSAC weigh-in rules, someone mentioned he was in the 190´s for the Bisping fight which is impressive and probably some good 10lbs lighter than Bisping that night, but that was a one off and not his average career at WW.

Probably not huge for WW, but he made 185lbs when he fought Anderson Silva.
 
Put books in your pants to make weight.

GOAT.

Was actually surprised to see Ian Garry was only 182 on fight night. Geoff Neal outweighted him by close 20 pounds, pretty insane.

There is a lot of noise going around regarding Jiri´s fight night weight for UFC 311, some fighters like Colby love to claim they are not huge weight cutters, which are the fighters that on record are cutting very little that they could fight at a weight class below?

-Jiri Prochazka this past weekend fought at 208lbs while being a career LHW, with a fight or 2 at HW
-Kevin Holland has been jumping up and down between MW and WW, he was 190lbs, he should go back to WW for the remainder of his career.
-Billy Elekana, this guy has a very low profile but at fight night he was still under the 205 limit, for a career LHW he might fit better at MW.

-Ian Garry, he didnt fought this weekend, has fought at 180lbs, which is right in the middle of what Moicano and Makhachev fought this wekend, while officially being a weight class below.

Any prime examples of this you might recall? I think Cody Garbrandt was also very light at BW but his chin/style didnt held up too well when he tried FLW, but size wise he is on par with them, i think he was 142lbs when he fought TJ Dillashaw.

I personally know that Gunnar Nelson doesn't cut any weight (and that worked for him for awhile. . . but he's def on the small-side of the division).

Jiri, on the other hand, looks strong and big AF, so he's fine with his weight cutting regimen.

True. I meant earlier in his career . He must have been close to the 170s as he I think he made 155 for the gomi fight.
 
Frankie Edgars LW run/reign is one of the most impressive feats in the cage that doesn’t get enough credit


That tiny guy cut 5-6lbs in one of the most athletic, hardest weight-cutting divisions and rose tight to the top with his work ethic, and strong determination


Although some of his decisions were meh, hats off to that mofo for being such a stud in his day

GSP said he was 198 leading up to his fight with Bisping and normally walked around 185-186LBs at 170 after rehydration. Zahabi once said GSP was around 192-193 for his fight with Shields. At 185-186 this places him around 9.5% rehydrated. Not the smallest cutter we have seen but not the biggest either. 193lbs at 170 places him in the 13.5% bracket. 198lbs at 185... 7.1% after rehydration. Definitely not the biggest 185er. Maybe a high medium of the pack weight cutter at 170.

Tho People said GSP was smaller earlier in his career which is believable
