I'm a small guy (5'7" and 155) and i look at the weight/strength situation pretty simply.
If i feel like i need to put on weight for a no-weightclass competition that i eat alot of carbs and protein and start on supplements. I don't run and spend all of my time working on the weights. If you're looking to gain weight and improve muscle mass then that's a good answer.
But don't look at size as the defining feature, if you can only bench 185 than you might be in trouble, but sometimes a light build is useful.
In weighclass competitions it lets you fight guys with less reach and gives you a big advantage as a standup fighter, as long as your punches can do some damage.
And i don't know why running would hurt, unless that's all you're doing.
