    Roger Huerta was the original Ronda Rousey. He became a big star right away and started doing modeling and acting and it seemed his focus got taken away from MMA and his career declined. Hopefully he's learned from that and can get things back on track.

    Roger seems like a great guy from the interviews I've seen. I wish him the best in this upcoming fight and in life. When you hang up the gloves come back to the The Academy in Minnesota and teach.

    Had he not lost that split-decision fight to Gray Maynard, he would more than likely had signed a new lucrative deal with the UFC (his contract was up). He had the looks, charisma, fighting spirit, everything that an MMA organization needs. Why did the UFC let him go? Maynard was one of the best fighters in the world at the time and Huerta almost beat him, a year before he fought Edgar. Damn.

    Poor Roger. Lots of skill. Lots of heart. Watched some of his latest fights over seas. Although he looked good he ended up taking a beating . BAD beatings. 0-4 in last outings. And gets signed.. hmmmm... hope he wins quickly.

    Training alone? One fight deal after a long layoff. That’s not a great plan for success in MMA. The best train with the best. You can’t be a great fighter by yourself.

    Aerial can you get ex UFC and TUF competitor and picked to win season 4 comeback before Dana White kicked him off of show for sneaking out of house and hooking up with hot life guard girl? Interestingly Jeremy "Scorpion" Jackson was the only fighter Big John McCarthy picked to manage. He was also my friend and sparring partner living at my place.

    i hope roger just went to the philippines instead of thailand... not to bad mouth thailand, but its an open secret that asian promoters/judges are engaged in gambling and fight fixing... if roger went to the philippines, he would have been taken care of by team lakay.. they made a lot of ONE FC champs... huerta would have been one

    Staying on a friend's couch, but he signs a one fight Bellator contract. Does he even understand financial responsibility?

    • @SolarCowboy
      @SolarCowboy 6 лет назад

      He's been training fighters at Tiger Muai Thai for a minute. I think couch is more like friends large place.\

    • @rodneyp4491
      @rodneyp4491 6 лет назад

      George Gutierrez II That maybe so, but getting a Bellator contract would have enabled him to start taking some financial responsibility for himself and to be able to get some money, get his own apartment, at least, and go from there. Even if say his Bellator contract would have been $20,000/$20,000. Four fights at minimum, losing all four would still have been $80,000. Minus taxes, probably $60,000, minus training and coaching, still somewhere around $50,000. That's enough to get a decent start on taking some financial responsibility for himself
