Hughes Moving Up to 205 (Possible April Fools Joke)
Quote:
April 1st, 2008
First off, I wanted to wish Tommy good luck for his fight tomorrow night. He’s got some photos from when he was training at the gym posted on his website. So, if you haven’t seen those yet, you can check them out at tommyspeer.com.
Well, for a long time I’ve talked about going up in weight class and I’ve decided to finally do it. Only I’m not going up to 185, I’m going up to 205 to fight Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in June. I’m bulking up now and packing on muscle and I’m thinking that it will be nice to not have to cut weight for a change. I think it’s a great match-up for me and I’ve told Dana that if I win this, then I want a shot at the 205 title next.
Sorry for the short blog this week, I’m here in Colorado helping Tommy get ready for his fight, so I’ll try to have more for you all next week. I just wanted to break the big news. -matt
I just think its amusing how he wouldn't even pull a joke about fighting Silva, skipped right up to light heavyweight. I mean shit he wouldn't be able to move putting on that much muscle.

Hughes should of kept up to date on the injury status of Shogun... It would of been a better joke if he said he was going to fight someone who is not out until September.
