"If you're the best guy in the gym, you're just not getting better. I'm not saying I was the best guy. I'm just saying I wasn't getting threatened a lot. I will probably be down there to train, but I'll also be going back up to Pat Miletich's. I'm going out to Ft. Bragg to train with those guys. I'm going to Arizona to train with (Ryan) Bader and those guys. I plan on being on the road a lot."
Time will tell if the gamble pays off. After a brutal 1-3 stretch a few years back, some pundits openly questioned whether Hughes still had what it takes to succeed in an organization that he helped bring to notoriety. Now 3-1 in his past four, Hughes appears to have righted the ship.
But Hughes isn't setting any long-term goals right now. For now, it's all about Sanchez; the rest is still to be determined.
"I think it's going to be a good fight," Hughes said. "I would love to stop Diego. He's not easy to stop. That would be great. It's going to be tough, though. He's a gamer. You've got to be prepared physically and mentally."
