I think anybody can evolve. If Hughes was in a new camp training with new people he would learn new things and have to change his game up to survive.

The problem I think with Matt Hughes has always been his inability to evolve and I think it's a manageable problem for anybody. If there's something blocking his progress it's mental and he could work it out. Two times now Hughes loses and says he wants to go back to his roots. I've heard him say that he gets nervous trading punches and instinct kicks in when he shoots for the take down.

Props on the burn.

I should add that I don't expect Matt Hughes to ever change. I just think it's always possible to grow as a fighter, and I want it to be known that it's Hughes' inability to make that decision -be it from stubborness or trust in Pat Militech or faith in wrestling or fear of striking- that has left him behind in the WW division.
