It’ll be interesting to see how they push Huerta now with the way things went down right before UFC 87. I don’t know if he can be a champion. It all depends on how long BJ Penn stays at 155. I wonder who they’ll match him up against in his first fight back?

I’m no lawyer, but does anyone think that Huerta could sue Zuffa if he felt that he was not re-signed due to personal reasons or for reasons that were not performance related, and sight the fact that Alexander’s contract was ridiculously extended despite his dismal performance on the organzation?

He probably could. But it would be a long, drawn out legal battle which could last years. During this period, no rival organization would touch him either. It could potentially damage, if not end his fighting career even if he wins in court.

I had just woke up and was stiil half asleep when I read the story and it was something that just popped in my head.

Nah he couldn’t sue, because they can release you after a loss. Remember, he had one fight remaining on the old contract.
