5 active UFC fighters who competed in three different weight classes

#4. Ode Osbourne - UFC featherweight, bantamweight & flyweight

Ode 'The Jamaican Sensation' Osbourne has only competed in the UFC three times. However, each fight has been in a different weight class, with mixed levels of success.

Osbourne made his UFC debut at bantamweight, where he fought veteran fighter Brian Kelleher. Whilst Osbourne started well, he was soon caught out by Kelleher's vicious gullitoine.

The pandemic made it hard for Osbourne to make a quick bounce back return to the UFC, with two fights being canceled. However, he eventually got a matchup, this time at featherweight against Jerome Rivera. Osbourne showed just what he has to offer the UFC, knocking Rivera out with a stunning head kick.

After this fight, Osbourne announced that he would be moving down to flyweight, which he stated was his natural weight class. Unfortunately, his flyweight debut did not go to plan, suffering a TKO loss to Manel Kape after being clipped by a flying knee.

#3. Jared Cannonier - UFC heavyweight, light heavyweight & middleweight

Jared Cannonier initially came into the UFC as a heavyweight, although it was immediately clear it was not his natural weight class. A debut loss to Shawn Jordan was followed by an impressive first round KO victory against Cyril Asker. Cannonier then made the decision to move down to light heavyweight.

At 205lbs, Cannonier picked up two victories against Ion Cutelaba and Nick Roehrick. However, he also dropped several losses to some very high level opposition such as Jan Blachowicz and Dominick Reyes.

These losses prompted Cannonier to make yet another weight change, moving down to the UFC's middleweight division. At middleweight, Cannonier has had great success. A three-fight win streak over David Branch, Anderson Silva and Jack Hermansson was enough to earn Cannonier a number one contender shot against former champion Robert Whittaker.

Unfortunately for Cannonier, it was Whittaker who came out on top that day. He is now set to rematch Kelvin Gastelum in an attempt to reassert himself in the middleweight title picture.
