okay?At least 5lbs heavier come fight time, according to Diego, Ruebusch and others.
size had nothing to do with his win over aldo though.

Evolution.
And bigger weight cuts.
Aldo is not a tall FW anymore. But he's still a big FW. He walks around at 170 plus. He's a strong guy.
I think you guys are over estimating the height aspect, versus strength and size. Look at LW, last 3 champs are all 5'9 and under. ( not counting Tony). All the tall guys at FW are in their early or mid 20s, so it's easier for them to cut to 145. Guess most of them will wind up at LW in another 5 years.He’s too short though. 145ers cut 20 pounds and enter the cage at a lean/ripped 165.
You can easily carry a tonne of mass at 165 5’10. I had a 275 bench and 420 deadlift when I was 165 (barely any abs showing) at that height.
As others have mentioned now the division is maturing you will see 5’10/5’11+ fighters at FW.
put him next to Cub,Frankie,Lamas,Zombie and he's still huge
the only guys that really dwarfed him was Conor who was MASSIVE for FW and Holloway who is tall and lanky
idk but it was the only reason he ever lost imo he's a much better fighter than Max and Conor

People are cutting more weight to gain an edge now. The game has evolved in that sense.
He started cutting height in addition to weight
No they aren't, the IV ban made it much harder to cut weight, people cut less weight now.
<45>And his size changed
You are a stable genius
Lmao Diaz was always a gatekeeper, it was Conor fans who played him as some unstoppable force when he tapped Conor out.USADA found his gym in Brazil even though they kicked out the tester.
Also once Conor beats you apparently you're not good anymore. Like how everyone turned on Eddie Alvarez and suddenly Nate Diaz was a bum after the 2nd Conor fight. It's just sherdog.
But they are still cutting shit loads even without the IV which seems why they gassing quickerNo they aren't, the IV ban made it much harder to cut weight, people cut less weight now.
