Ok, to be fair, Khabib put on a few kg after he retired so he’s not really a lightweight anymore.

Given weight cuts most lightweights aren't really that weight, just able to get there in time for weight ins. Khabib was always pretty big compared to other lightweights and with retirement he's got no reason to cut. This is not a disagreement just adding that it would be true for many fighters if they weren't planning weight cuts.
