    Diego sanchez has fought at Middleweight, Featherweight and everything in between!!

    Did he step up 2 divisions between 2 fights?

    No, BJ Penn took Lyoto Machida to a decision at Light Heavy Weight.

    He was a featherweight.

    That's a real jump in weight divisions.

    I mean Nate weighed in only a pound heavier then Conor, he wasn't that much heavier in the cage, a few pounds max.

    It's pretty misleading to say he stepped up two weight divisions when he would've been in the cage at 15 pounds less than any true WW. Was essentially just a LW fight without cutting water.

    Holy Holm didn't tap out like this fraud, she's a real champion, real heart

    Holly Holm passed out before she tapped out, I'm pretty sure your meant to tap if you know BJJ and know you're caught. friend of mine was actually a bit disconcerted when a guy he was fighting didn't tap when he should and he had to blood choke him
    Holly is a nice lady but she's not a champ
    CmG is still the undisputed feather weight champ

    how was he a featherweight?

    his previous fight had been middleweight and it wasn't the UFC they fought in

    Not tapping to a choke isn't dangerous, you wake up the second it's let go, Holly was awake before Miesha was even standing, getting choked out is not like getting knocked out with a strike, it's just like getting a headrush and fainting.

    Freaky as **** when it's happening to you though.

    Ehhh have a look back, showed respect to every single one of his opponents after the fight. All the gloating is done beforehand to hype it up.

    He's a clown, easy to pretend your humble after a win. Calling a German a nazi before a fight is the lowest of the low.

    It's a factual statement. Only thing subjective is whether holly holm is a nice lady. Which I would guess everyone agrees with.

    Ok but he was never going to last till the bell so tapping made sense right?

    UFC champ and multiple Boxing champ, in fact the first to win a world championship in both combat sports...yet she's not a champion according to you...ridiculous claim to make. She's a credit to female combat sport.

    If he said that in Germany he'd be in the slammer

    It was his MW debut before that, he weighed in over 40 pounds lighter. He was a WW before that before moving down to featherweight eventually.

    He was never more then a light weight naturally, he just took any fight going.

    No arguments from me. Tate also seems nice. Both a lot nicer than Rousey anyway.

    McGregor has been exposed as the total bluffer and sham that he is. A real case of the emporers new clothes! The idiot has been humbled.

    Can this "Mctapper" thing please just f*ck off, it's not clever. I don't get why people think it's cool and smart to play with someone's name. McTapper is as embarrassing an insult at Fraud Duckweather, Manny Pacroid, Joe Calslappy etc etc. Cop on.

    You're misunderstanding him. He means literally she is not a champion. As in she lost the belt last night. McGregor still has his featherweight belt.

    Once a champ, always a champ, it cannot be taken away from her. If that weren't the case, some of the greatest athletes of all time are, by your definition, not champions.

    In Fairness this was a terrible fight to take stupid choice imo.I said it beforehand and it was just stupid to take this fight at 170 retarded completely.

    I've seen a few post saying he "took" the fight at 170. Was it not McGregor that requested the fight at 170??

    ok but the question was was that the first two weight swing between two fights in the UFC
    the fight you refered to wasn't ufc it was one of the Jap promotions
    BJ had been fighting at middleweight the fight before not at FW
    BJ has only ever fought once at FW and that was his last fight
