Mauricio Rua said several weeks back that he is considering a drop to the middleweight division. Next scheduled to fight James Te Huna, a drop in weight class is still in his mind:
It might happen, but for now I have a fight scheduled, Rua said at a recent fan Q&A in Brazil. I would have to do some medical exams to check if it’s possible.
The former light heavyweight champion normally walks around at about 228 pounds and cuts 23 pounds for his fights, but would have to lose an additional 20 pounds if he were to drop down another weight class.
Maybe I can (drop to 185) and maintain my performance. I would need to think about it, but that’s something that can happen.
