I was just reading Matt Hughes' site and it has this Ask Matt section (http://www.matt-hughes.com/askmatt.html). Here's an excerpt:

"What are your max out weights for bench, squat, deadlift, etc? -Steven
I do not max out anymore, and have not for a long time.

Years ago: bench - 310, squat - 375, deadlift - 425

I get a lot of my power from my back, and body position. I can take a 240 pound guy, who would beat me in every lift badly, and grapple him and make him feel weak. I call that usable power and that has to do with body position and leverage. -Matt"

If he is talking about regular people then I would believe that, but it is hard to believe he would make a 240lbs professional fighter feel weak, maybe he bases this expierence from grappling with Tim Sylvia.

He´s talking about a 240 lbs powerlifter I´d wager.

And I believe him, after watching Gil Castillo clown that NFL player a while back.

Well, Fujita is nearly 240 pounds, so how about Hughes vs Fujita for the Nov. card

I'm pretty sure he's talking about lifters, not fighters.

He didn't say a fighter he said a 240 pound GUY, and yea he probably could.

I would have to agree with that assessment...
