bro, dont let this sound like im flaming you because i have the most respect for all guys who lay it on the line and fight....we got the toughest sport in the world...
weightlifting is nessicary for fighters today...there is no way to get stronger than weightlifting...matt hughes, gsp, fedor, vanderlei, chuck, fuckin everyone does it....you have to do it to get the rediculous strength that helps win mma fights
also, everyone one is on the gear too...from matt hughes to fedor, they are all on it...i know from training with many...also, dana white is well known to not test when he wants you on gear...or they dont publish the results...now
you are right...no one needs big puffy muscles...maybe bodybuilders...but there are many compounds that make you hard as fuck
also, GH is a nessecity today....with how hard guys train...it is the only way to prevent injuries...
many are on a low dose test..between 200-400mg ew....hgh is rampant...high doses...halo is huge a couple weeks before fight....cheque drops are also very usefull....not to mention compounds like EPO....nothing helps more than that
also...if you wanna fight at 205...you can be 220 the day before...you can cut comfortably 12% of your bodyweight...i am 200 lbs and i fight at 185 all the time with no problems...i am 200 lbs until 4 hours before weight it...everyone can do 12% ones bodyweight...this is without diet or cardio...
diet and cardio are in place...then you cut the 12% for the fight
there is no flack toward you...i love having fighters on the board and the more we can discuss the better...

Bro you gota long way to go to get to 205 ... Im assuming your gona want to keep your training weight around 210-220 and cut water pre fight.
Get off the sauce, and only do circuit training with weights. Youll find extra cardio, speed, and flexibility is going to help you more than puffy muscles.
Personally ive said fuck it to weight lifting entirely and have maintianed most size and strength.
Especially considering the weight your looking to drop the only AAS id use is maybe some halo a week or 2 pre fight for strength and aggression, but considering you naturally muscular and thick most anything else will put mass on. And @ this point, even lean mass isnt a good thing.
TBH @ your hieght if you can comfortably make 205, id consider trying to dice up for middleweight ... the divisions are filling up with naturally (bone structure) bigger guys all the time.
