Sean Strickland made his pro debut at 17?

[Herwald]

So I looked at the dude's resume again - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Strickland - and besides the impressive 15-0 run, I noticed the dude made his debut on March 22, 2008. He's born Febuary 27th 1991.

My math is correct, right? If so, he wasn't even a week post 16 then. Do guys know of anyone else who debuted this young?

Also, Sean went 15-0 as a MW including 2-0 in UFC, why did he drop down to WW in the first place?

Anyways, fun character.

Victoria Lee was 16 when she debuted pro, fought amateur at 15. Even now it's odd watching her fight grown women being 17.
