    This is the biggest fight of his career. A win and he is getting a title shot. What the hell was he thinking?

    Alves weighed in at 174-lbs but Hughes has agreed to fight him anyways.

    Everyone else made weight.

    I hate when fighters don't make weight. It shows a lack of respect for your opponent and that you kinda just went through the motions during your training camp.

    Hughes FTW.

    yeah just read about this too.

    apparantly Alves has been suspended before for testing positive for using a diarretic, so apprantly he's had problems dropping weight before.

    Hughes is a pro, so of course he'd accept the fight.
