As he gets older he will more than likely make the move. He doesn't walk around at 205 naturally. There is a reason why he dwarfs everyone in LHW. Not saying he can't continue to cut for the rest of his career but he shot to stardom much younger and will have cleared the LHW class out much earlier. If he wants a challenge it will be at HW. He is just to big for LHW. Alex Gustaffason is the only one with a similar frame that can match his range. Belfort is the only one who has threatened him in a title fight with a submission attempt.

I didn't say he would be champion at HW, but he would be very competitive if he put on some more muscle. He'd be top 5 or at least top 10 IMO.
