No i don't think it would have mattered.

By fight night he was always in tip top condition (maybe apart from Collazo fight) and he normally had 12 solid weeks of living like a monk behind him. At the end of the day so long as he had enough in the tank come fight night, what he does with the rest of his life is entirely up to him.

The only thing you could say is that maybe it led to him over-training during camp as he had to spend a good 3 - 4 weeks shifting the weight, before he could even properly start camp.

To be honest, he probably got much further than his talent should have allowed him.
