10 Best Body Transformations In UFC History
7. Jared Cannonier (Heavyweight To Middleweight)
When you begin your career as a 240lbs Heavyweight, putting together a 7-0 streak in the process, it was inevitable that Jared Cannonier would get the call from Dana White soon enough.
Unfortunately, in his UFC debut at UFC 182 he would be knocked out by Shawn Jordan in the first round.
Not a great start.
The 'Killa Gorilla' would drop down to Light heavyweight for his next few bouts and had reasonable success with wins over Cyril Asker and Ion Cutelaba, yet he still found difficulty with losses against Glover Teixeira and Jan Blachowicz.
In an extraordinary turn of events, Cannonier would announce in 2018 that he would be dropping down to Middleweight, weighing in at 185lbs.
Cannonier performed incredibly in his Middleweight bow, defeating David Branch by TKO and earning a Performance of the Night award in the process.
If that Middleweight debut wasn't enough, Cannonier would go on to cripple Anderson Silva with a kick in their UFC 237 clash at 185lbs.
Looking like a different man since his gargantuan 2014 Heavyweight days, 55lbs later, Cannonier looks to have finally found his groove in the UFC.
