They scrapped the 160 limit for the Hughes/Gracie fight, which is why it wasn't a title fight...he weighed in at like 165 or 167 for that one.
I think you're misunderstanding this.
Hughes is a WW, which is 170, and the weight was scrapped because Gracie could not make 170. The fight was fought at the catchweight of 175 lbs. I think Hughes said he gave up 5-10 lbs for that fight.
Yeah, that was actually the point I was trying to make, but I said 160 instead of 170...too early in the morning to make a coherent post, I guess. His current weight is not much more than he was for that fight. I will say that he does look to be in better physical condition though.
