Which fighter could win 2 weight classes up?

[Caicara]

Prime Anderson would beat most Hw's

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

Machida beat Sam Greco.

But was never a true HW. I see you're a Fedor fan but c'mon now, don't be in denial about the fight.

The whole arguiement depends on Hendo having fought in other divisions though, if you shift it to actually looking at fighters size then Fedor was a fat MW by that point.

Vitor and hendo both have surfed the top 3 weight classes and have been competitive and fairly successful. as far as someone who is consistently in 1 class going up 2? Renan Barao. idk how how successful at lw he could be but hes got it in him to find success at high levels there imo.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Rumble fought for the championship.

Rumble beat Arlovski.

 

[Fugazy]

Perosh is retired.

I had literally no idea. I thought he went to Bellator or something.

Probably best for his brain...

 

[Azure]

Rumble did it.. WW to HW = WW-> MW -> LHW -> HW

 

[RoninJin]

GSP in his prime would de well at LHW.

 

[Fugazy]

I think Edgar and Rockhold would have a great chance vs Lawler and Werdum. I could honestly see Mouse outpointing and getting a decision over McGregor too.

I repectfully think Lawler would put Frankie in a coma.

DJ, Rockhold, Weidman, Holloway, Sterling

 

[El Fernas]

ugh, just stop.

Henderson Fought at MW at the time.....For that fight he came in at 207, and there is people saying he did efforts to weigh-in heavier, so basically a MW not cutting weight.

While Fedor never fought outside of HW he always weigh-in at the mid-lower end and looking soft,

Rumble did it.. WW to HW = WW-> MW -> LHW -> HW

Isnt that 3 weight classes up tho? And fought a legit HW, Conor fought a non weight cut Nate, a LW.

 

[felmmando]

Connie tried it and was promptly choked out.

But I think a few fighters could jump 2 weight classes and beat respected fighters outside of their traditional class.

He lost to that particular opponent and may do so again. That's not to say he'd always meet the same fate two weight classes up.

 

[Tormund]

I'd definitely take him over Shogun at this point.

As far as a fighter with something left, I'd like him against Latifi and Perosh...

Perosh has retired & Latifi would lay Lawler out, Lawler has been rocked by Condit & Ro-mac his chin would shatter with one punch from the sledgehammer.

 

[Mau]

Rumble beat Arlovski.

Nice one. That's 3 weight classes, I forgot about that fight.

 

[The Accuser]

According to his nuthuggers Fedor was actually a MW fighting SHWs.

 

[CTYankee]

But he didn't started his career as Middleweight. In Pride the division he used to fight in, Even though they called that middleweight division, was actually Light Heavyweight Division.

He lost to a guy half his size. It happened. Get over it.

 

[Merman]

Moose has!

 

[Fugazy]

He lost to that particular opponent and may do so again. That's not to say he'd always meet the same fate two weight classes up.

I know the whole weight class thing in that fight was a farce. I just use that example because it is fresh, even though Nate has fought at WW more than once.

Anyways... what decent WW do you think Connie could beat, honestly?

I don't see him being able to handle any.

 

[Fugazy]

Perosh has retired & Latifi would lay Lawler out, Lawler has been rocked by Condit & Ro-mac his chin would shatter with one punch from the sledgehammer.

Latifi is legit but I think Lawler could outlast him. Dude has a suspect gas tank, and his reach isn't great.

As for Perosh as I mentioned in an earlier post I had no idea he retired. I still say 2 years ago if he was still fighting then Robbie could have tee'd off on him.

 

[Lumberjacks]

Manhoef is the answer.
