Which fighter could win 2 weight classes up?

[MayhemMonkey]

I think Robbie Lawler would have a small chance.

doubtful, he was pretty average as a MW

 

[agibmxmma]

Cruz vs Iaquinta at 155, TJ vs Johnson at 155, Faber vs Alvarez at 155, Cody vs Poirier at 155, Sterling vs Barboza at 155

Holloway vs Cerrone at 170, Mendes vs Lombard at 170, Penn vs Maia at 170

RDA vs Kennedy at 185, Nate vs Bisping at 185, Melendez vs Machida at 185

Lawler vs Bader at 205, Woodley vs Evans at 205, Wonderboy vs Jones at 205, Condit vs Gus at 205, Nick vs Corey at 205

Luke vs Struve at HW, Weidman vs Mitrione at HW, Romero vs Gonzaga at HW

 

[Metheus]

BJ Penn fought a 200+ lb Machida, even if he didnt win

 

[Sauce Castillo]

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.

If any champion can go 2 divisions up and beat it's champion it just says how incredibly weak the heavier divison is.

going from 115 to 135 is a pretty huge gap in terms of bodyweight %.

Joanna's rabid fanbase is pretty cute but their joanna champion would get sub'd by Miesha in the first or second. Miesha's bigger and stronger than she ever was, and her chin is more than capable of handling Joanna's punches.

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 like his chances against Mike Swick.

[alpharowe3]

Lawler, Edgar, Nate Diaz could prob beat a 185er

 

[Davemeddlehed]

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.

Actually he did. Dan Henderson's first fights were all at 185ish pounds, and he even won the UFC middleweight tournament in his first five or so fights.

I'm not saying he should be labeled as a Middleweight, but he did absolutely start off at 185lbs or so.

 

[Duck Dodgers]

Maia could sub some heavyweights, especially those awful ones you see lumbering around on the prelims.

 

[SlicerDM]

Igor Vovchanchyn?

 

[McgreGOATsLeft]

Rockhold maybe.

 

[shortlefthook]

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

Who the fuck cares where he started the point is, he could make 185 and beat hws thats exactly what the title is asking.

 

[Kneeuinthenutz]

.

Today? Faber could move up to 155 and beat some good fighters.

 

[Fugazy]

I like his chances against Mike Swick.

I can dig it.

 

[MMun]

Anderson did three times.

Rockhold could beat mid-tier HWs.
