Roger Huerta Still Playing The Waiting Game

Roger Huerta emerged out of seclusion to appear on Friday's panel of "Inside MMA." On the show he talked about former opponents and who had hit him the hardest. It's funny that he mentioned Clay Guida's name since Guida hasn't punched anyone in his last two fights. Anyways, according to Huerta he doesn't know when he's going to fight again. He still has that one fight left on his contract, and is playing the waiting game. His demeanor was as if he hasn't talked with Joe Silva or anyone from the UFC in a LONG time. That's pure conjecture on my part, but that's the sense I was getting from watching him talk on the show. He did admit that he would be a coach on The Ultimate Fighter when Inside MMA host Kenny Rice asked the panel. So you have to wonder what his relationship is with the UFC. If I were a betting man, I'd say we'll see him on an undercard at some point this year.

I know…there’s gotta be more to this story then him just wanting to do movies. I think when he tried to call them out like an idiot last year…that hurt him big time.

You think Florian dominated him? He beat him for sure…but IMHO I don’t think Florian dominated Huerta. Maybe I need to re-watch that jawn again. I do remember right after the fight that I was madd disappointed that neither fighter engaged much or something to that effect.

Figures that this is the only episode of Inside MMA I’ve actually taken the time to watch in a while.. I think that Huerta is in a funny position: he wants to act, and thinks he can go back to fighting whenever he wants. Waiting for his last fight makes me liken him to Andre Arlovski. I think the UFC is probably going to wait as long as they can to get him another fight, and like Kelvin said, we’ll probably see him on an undercard somewhere, if we see him at all. It’s a shame though, if he really wanted to stick with the UFC he could be very successful, at least in terms of fans; I don’t know that he’s got what it takes to make it to the top of the heap, but he’ll certainly be a fan favorite on the mid card.

Yep, I think he should stick with fighting. It just seems that there’s something else behind the scene….more than him just wanting to act…nahmean?

Yeah it seems like something weird is going on. I’m guessing that all of the push the UFC was giving him inflated his ego to massive proportions and he now thinks that he can become a famous actor. I know he’s dating that actress from ‘That ’70’s Show’, I’m sure she’s buzzing in his ear about how he can make millions of dollars without fighting…….that and Scientology.
I was never a big Huerta fan. So glad when Kenny beat him.
Sucks that the UFC is stringing him along now though. It’s the spite game.
