There is some speculation over it... but yes, I feel that he is. He has changed his story from " I didn't do it." I didn't do it knowingly." to "It was in my supplements and energy drinks." I believe he is guilty. but the CSAC ruined any chance they had
of truly nailing him but waiting too long

The ufc utilizes 5 weight classes:
Heavyweight: 206-265
Light-Heavyweight: 205
Middleweight: 185
Welterweight: 170
Lightweight: 155
The other weight classes of the Unified Rules of Combat not utilized by the UFC:
Super-Heaveyweight: 265+
Featherweight: 145
Banthamweight: 135
Flyweight: 125

It's simply that way because its easier for people to understand. as for the weight being higher, I would imagine it would have something to do with all of the muscle mass grapplers develop.
