Weight is changable. Height and reach, the frame you put that weight on is not. A 6 foot 2 person can carry 205 pounds lighter than a shorter person they make that choice. Being lighter or heavier isnt your size, I remember people pretending it was going to kill DC whose 5 foot 11 to go down to 205 pounds when he's got the dimensions of say a Tony Ferguson height and reach wise(just an additional 50+pounds). Evans moved down to MW and in retirement might be a WW. 6 foot 2 with a 77 inch reach(think it was that) might be an average LHW today maybe even smaller. But back then 6 foot 2 was large for a LHW, Tito, Forrest Griffin were outliers at 6 foot 3. Evans and DC were 5 foot 11 and they didn't just fight at LHW but HW at times.
AS fought at LHW 3 times the weight wasn't the issue it's the opponents he did and didn't face. At the extremes obviously WEC guys can't go up to the heavy classes and vice e versa but we got to stop judging peoples sizes based on the divisions they chose to fight at rather than actual size. With your size you've probably got several divisions you can fight at, and it's why fighters move divisions when they have exhausted oppurtunities at the old one or don't think the cut is right for them. AS was using the same large height and reach advantages at MW Jones had before recently. Rumble is 6 foot 2 and that guy shows the whole spectrum from WW, LHW to Rumbleweight I don't know.
