Yeah I was more drawing attention to the narrative of "God this guy is so big for 45!" that they used to try to spin, as if "big for the division" is a promotional angle (I guess it is, though, since they keep doing it) and then they completely forget about it when he decides to go down in weight.

I feel as if I asked t his a few pages ago, but who are some fighters who had found success by dropping weight after a meaningful career in a heavier class, not including into a class that didn't exist when they were fighting at the heavier one (so no DJ, Ivan Menjivar, or even Florian). Let's forget one-and-done title shots too - who has dropped weight, and then after dropping foguth their way to a title shot?

Jared Cannonier and TJ Grant are the only ones I can think of right now.
