Just that simple.
Another fraud.
Hope Islam starches him.

Topuria is a weight bully and simply can't make 145 anymore...

I understand him wanting to move up, and applaud him for taking on such a massive challenge, but he clearly must've felt he needed to give the UFC some kind of pretense for moving up that they could give plausible deniability, so he pretended like it was a weight cutting issue.
Imagine anyone believing that a relatively small 145er has trouble making the weight. I think Topuria is out of his mind given his size disadvantage at 155, but gotta give him credit for having huge balls and fearlessly taking on the biggest challenges. He's like the antithesis of Khabib.

And he made weight so it is not as if there was anything fraudulent going on.

I find it hard to believe Ilia cannot make 145, he's not a big FW at all, I think he is capping so he can move up to 155. Nothing wrong with that though

Has a champion ever relenquished their title because he couldn't make weight anymore? Like, preemptively? I'm sure it must have happened at some point but nothing comes to mind

You are ghey as fuck.
Anyone who uses the term "weight bully" should be beheaded and disemboweled.
And then shit-on.
You know nothing about professional fighting.

Not exactly, but after DC won the HW belt he was obviously too fat to make LHW any more and was refusing to defend that belt so got stripped.
(Also he didn't want to defend at LHW because the UFC told him to defend against Jones or Gus and he didn't want to lose)

I don't think so. He's like 4'11. He'll look tiny next to Islam.

This was the closest i could think of too, even if it's not a perfect comparison. There's a difference between not being able to do something and not having any interest in doing it

No, Jai Herbert is just stupid tall for LW at 6'1", second tallest lightweight behind Jalin.I understand him wanting to move up, and applaud him for taking on such a massive challenge, but he clearly must've felt he needed to give the UFC some kind of pretense for moving up that they could give plausible deniability, so he pretended like it was a weight cutting issue.

Ilia is a shortarse but he's built thick and was complaining about the weight cut for a while.

Conor was screaming about UFC trying to take his FW title away from him as soon as he won the LW belt. Remember him talking about it even before the Alvarez fight in the pressers, and then the whole belt thing in the octagon. So even if Conor was never going to fight at FW again regardless that situation was more UFC forcing him to drop it than him choosing to let it go.
What Topuria is doing is pretty crazy because I've never even noticed him having a tough time with it. But I guess he must have??

I remember when Matt Hughes said BJ Penn was "disrespectful" for moving up to fight him at 170Um... He is moving up a weight class now. So dont that make him the total opposite of a weight bully?
