8. Anthony Johnson (UFC 106)
If you look at Anthony Johnson now, he’s an absolute unit. The former light-heavyweight contender fought twice for the title and was renowned for his ferocious power. You could call him the Francis Ngannou of his day. “Rumble” is now a professional bodybuilder which means he’s got even bigger since retirement.
That makes it even crazier to imagine that he’d fought at middleweight AND at welterweight previously in his career. The image of him standing on the scales at UFC 106 should be shown at anti-weight cut meetings around the world. He looks totally drained and weak. It’s terrifying.
