Which fighter could win 2 weight classes up?

[mmmjojo]

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.

And he won the MW (Pride WW) belt before the LHW belt

Well we know its not Conor

 

[El Fernas]

Ronda seems to be attempting it

Damn Holly, if she only would had been as entertaining and dominant as Ronda, all she did was get rid of the most entertaining WMMA fighter in the UFC and lost the title to the perennial gatekeeper/contender.

I personally consider Frankie as fighting two weight classes up. He was fighting at his walking weight at 155 and he should probably be at 135 based on they way most fighters cut.

 

[mikehunt]

Mark Hunt.

Brock Tober

 

[FedorGOAT]

Before Pride he fought in Ring: King of the King tournament in Heavyweight division.

frankie edgar.

i could see conner beating 15-20 ranked LW but no way he beats any legitimate ww.

mighty mouse

prime anderson if it were a smaller hw

Anderson was a WW ranked number 1 in the world and beat a few LHWs including a recently dethroned LHW champ Forrest Griffen.

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.

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.

MM could beat some of the top 10 at FW, not the elite but a couple in the lower half of 145.

 

[thechoice2]

I think Robbie Lawler would have a small chance.

I've seen Lawler vs Babalu....don't think so.

I think the bigger MWs could beat some of the aging HWs like Nelson, Gonzaga, and Mir.

 

[OldNHBWIZ]

I would take Joanna Champion over Tate too

 

[Me&MrJones]

Nate if he ever goes FW and fights Brandão or Brimage.

 

[Woliwo]

Less old Hendo.
That legendary H-bomb works one everyone.
Best version of Penn was amazing and could do so too.

Also Nate vs Conor was IMO two LWs fighting without cutting alot of weight.

 

[HHJ]

MW and LHW.

ugh, just stop.

 

[BigMuffler]

NOOOOO!

On topic any of the top BW girls could wreck shit at 155 because the 30 or so girls there are probably fat out of shape chicks who don't cut weight, and Cyborg could probably wreck shit at the nonexistent 170 lol.

Wasn't really a direct step up though, the WW Anderson was a scarecrow.

Generally I would say MW remains the best divison for this, I think Rockhold, Weidman, Jacare and Romero could potentially do reasonably well at HW.

Maybe Wonderboy moving up to LHW although like Anderson I think he'd need to bulk up a lot.

true, but i meant a mw anderson beating a few hw fighters.

keep in mind that 206 is technically hw, and i coudl see him weigh in a 85 and fight and beat a few lhw who either did not cut weight or perhaps a smaller hw--220 or so.

 

[what-wut]

Maybe Dominick Cruz.

 

[Duck Dodgers]

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

Perosh is retired.
