What’s the lightest / furthest below the limit a non-HW has been

[Choco]

BJ Penn weighed in at 191 pounds against Machida.

Penn at light heavy has to be the answer.

Openweight. Machida was like 215 IIRC.

I remember reading that Amar Suloev was 187 vs Chuck but I just checked the DVD and the "Tale of the tape" said 197 lbs.

Dan Henderson against DC weighd like 190 something, not sure. Also when Dan fought Fedor at HW he weighd 205 or 206, he had to drink a bunch of water.

Dan Henderson against DC "Tale of the tape" said 199.

A commission cannot allow a fighter fight at HW unless he's 207 or more, so he should be 207.

How much did Ninja weigh in the OpenWeight tourny in Pride?

Tapology says he weighted 220.0 lbs. It was a HW tournament, 2004 BTW. 2000 was OW, and 2006 was theoretically OW too (i guess to accomodate Zuluzinho, but all the figthers were >205 lb).

Dan said he was 206 on a recent podcast with rampage. So somehow they let him fight.

Jesus Christ; I remember that fight nearly ending his life, let alone career trajectory...

 

[StonedLemur]

Hendo .. weighed barely 200 vs Fedor

Pretty sure he was like 195.

Homeboy ate body shots for breakfast, lunch and dinner in that fight lol

For the ufc ultimate Japan heavyweight tournament Sakuraba lied his ass off and said he was 203 , it’s so obvious he was somewhere around 180-185

 

[The Big Babou]

He was like 206 against fedors 225 or something

There was a rumour going round that he stuffed his pockets with coins at the weigh in

 

[TheTickG]

Adesanya came in at 200.5lbs against Jan.

I think Machida came in at 199lbs for one of his 205 bouts.

Who else?

Wasn't Frank Shamrock 192 pounds, with weights in his pocket, when he beat Tito at LHW?

 

[El Fernas]

Yeah, he was under 205 and it ended up being a catchweight iirc.

Damn

 

[RonDante]

Jones said in a tweet once he weighed 225 when he fought Rashad, then 6 months later he fought machida who weighed in at 204, then machidas next fight he was 201, then the fight after 202

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

Adesanya came in at 200.5lbs against Jan.

I think Machida came in at 199lbs for one of his 205 bouts.

Who else?

Pat Barry was like 5’10”, 235lbs in the 265lbs limit division.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

A lot of lightweights (160) and welterweights (185) in Pride were severely undersized…

Heck, I remember Akahiro Gono fought Shogun at 205, and Imanari fighting Hansen at 160. Don’t remember exact weights though.

 

[Buffmeister]

What was Sakus weight?
180ish?



Also...



Also...Royce...was like 175 180?
