One of the problems Hughes now faces is that guys have just gotten so much bigger at that weight class. And Hughes' striking is so bad he often can't get close enough to think about using his wrestling against the elite guys.

I just don't see him at this point in his career (nearing the end) rededicating himself to rounding out his game.

Oh, and I think he'd get thrown around by Kos right now. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have a hard time seeing Hughes outwrestle Kos.
