He wrestled at 213 lbs, which in MMA is 100% heavyweight territory. By contrast, Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic wrestled at 197 in college and Daniel Cormier wrestled at 184 in college. So really Robert Whittaker is a heavyweight who's bigger than most UFC heavyweight champions and yet he fights at middleweight (and fought at welterweight) for some reason.
Volk should also be fighting at HW because he played rugby as a heavyweight

LHW more like it. Seems that's where the rest of his career will be.
 
Just because you can hit a weight doesn't mean you should fight at that weight.
 
213 would be modest even for a 205ers in cage weight these days. Rob absolutely should not be fighting above 185. He isn't tall or long enough and would be massively outsized
 
Dumb logic. Reaper should never will never fight at hw
