Part of me wanted to see Alves win and get some new blood at the top of the division in line for a title shot, but now I hope Hughes beats him down. I saw that he has to give Hughes 10% of his purse, and Dana said that he isn't sure this guy should be fighting at Welterweight. Even with a win I don't think this helps him get in line for a title shot, he has to go back and prove he can make weight again. Missing weight is unprofessional and 4 pounds isn’t even close.

That's a f*ck-ton to miss weight by. Very surprised by this, yes the fight was relatively short notice... but seriously if it's your big break get your ass on a bike in a sauna.
