Hughes wants to prove his time hasn't passed - MMA - Yahoo! Sports
One of the classic symptoms of an aged, or aging, fighter is seeing openings and being unable to take advantage of them. It’s no different than a running back who once could burst through a hole for a 15-yard gain when he ran a 4.4 40, but who now runs a 4.65 and can’t hit it quick enough to get more than three yards before the pile collapses upon him.

UFC Quick Quote: Searching for the old Matt Hughes against Thiago Alves at UFC 85
MMAdness — “[Randy Couture and Chuck Liddell] can still do it, so there’s no reason why I can’t. I’ve pulled out some of the old Matt Hughes tapes and I’m trying to get back to being that fighter….

Quote of the Day: Matt Hughes
Bloody Elbow — "Obviously, Georges St. Pierre is a tremendous fighter, but I had a real bad night at the same time he had a real good night. When that happens, you saw what the result can be. But I did get into some good positions and I saw some things, but I couldn't do what I knew I needed to do." "To be honest, I like the matchup (against Thiago Alves at UFC 85)," "He's a stand-up guy. On the ground, he's not nearly as dangerous. I'll be stronger, I believe I'll be the better wrestler and I like the fact he's kind of a slow starter. I think I can wear him out before he gets going." "I've pulled out some of the old Matt Hughes tapes and I'm ...
