First guy that comes to my mind is Thiago Alves, then Forrest Griffin. Gleison Tibau is also HUGE for a lightweight.
Forrest I've heard walks around in the mid 230's, Alves I've heard is 195 by fight time.
The other person that comes to mind is Joe Riggs, who used to fight at HEAVYWEIGHT but came all the way down to welterweight.
Who is the reigning champ of cutting weight?
Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, he looks like a heavyweight.
rumble
Both good answers - McCorkle was like 320lbs 6 weeks out?
Anthony Johnson does look gigantic - I remember seeing him on Inside MMA and being shocked he could make 185 let alone 170
Josh Thompson is also another anomaly - the guy looks huge when he's in training.
I love if they did an additional weight in on the way to the cage.
Percentage wise I'd guess Tibau. We are talking weight cut and not who gets the fattest, right?
Rumble, dude could fight at 205...
Not really sure the Riggs example is valid. Guy used to be fat and then wasn't.
Whitehead is like 250+ in his HW fights and makes the 205 limit when he fights at LHW.
Rumble, I met him right after his weigh-ins at the Palms before he got his eye poked and he towered over me and I'm 6' 208. Guy is a freak, but really nice.

BEEP?
Tibau is huge for 155.
On percentages I'd say Tibau.
I think Bader has a pretty big cut to make 205.
When i met anthony johnson he was huge, looked bigger then 205 guys i met too. Side note, he was kinda a dick.
Rumble Johnson
GSP's legs look like they weigh 170 alone.
another vote for rumble and tibau, jesus christ just watch Tibau vs Uno
