Only reason I see is the turnaround due to the fact he just fought, but still, Hadley showed that missing weight won't cost you a contract if you get a finish so it's better that than taking on a much bigger guy at a weight class you shouldn't be in.
Other guy did take a fight at 135 in his pro debut, and sherdog has him listed at 135 as well, but yeah, damn near 6'0 at 135 is rare even to this day.
Yeah, McMillen made his pro debut at 135 when he was 21 and then didn't fight again for almost 4 years which is crazy...The fuck. Regardless, I've worried Bashi will hit a wall at 135 eventually because he is a lot smaller than guys like Umar, Yan, Sandhagen, Omalley etc. He looks about 5'4?
