#2. Sean O'Malley

Known for his flashy, self-taught striking style and viral knockouts, Sean O'Malley has amassed a massive following despite only recently engaging in top-ranked competition.

While fans admire him for his colorful hairstyles, entertaining persona, and the exciting performances he brings to the octagon, O'Malley received significant attention for his size.

At 5 feet 11 inches tall and possessing a 73 inch reach, O'Malley is easily one of the largest bantamweights in the world. An enormous size advantage is often an indication of future champions and title contenders.

Historically, UFC champions have been on the larger side of their weight classes, barring a few exceptions. Conversely, larger fighters tend to struggle the most with weight cuts. O'Malley, however, has never missed weight or even spoken of difficulty with making weight.


#1. Conor McGregor

MMA's greatest star and former champ-champ Conor McGregor has never missed weight despite plying his trade across three different weight classes. His initial rise to prominence came from his decimation of the UFC's featherweight division.

Then came his ascension to legendary status after claiming UFC lightweight gold from then ruling champion Eddie Alvarez.

During his run through the UFC featherweight division, McGregor was one of the weight class' largest fighters. Yet, he never failed to make weight despite mentioning the amount of discipline and work required to drop to 145 lbs with a frame as large as his.
