Contrary to what some might assume regarding a weight class change, Robert Whittaker approached his move to light heavyweight for UFC 305 with his familiar training regimen and weight.

According to a long-time teammate, Whittaker did not drastically alter his training weight in preparation for his new division. This suggests that the former middleweight champion's transition is less about a dramatic physical transformation and more about a strategic shift in competition category, with his physical conditioning remaining consistent with his previous efforts.
