the bully by beatdown.. or UD

I dont know how anyone would feel comfortable betting money on Huerta. Too many unknowns. Too much stacked against him. The kid hasnt fought in 13 months, and I cant imagine him spending much time training during that period. Cage RUST has a lot to do with outcomes of fights.

Aso, how can anyone feel comfortable betting money on Roger, when we dont even know how much he cares about this fight. Is his heart in it? its no secret by now that Roger is quitting mma to go into acting/modeling full time.

 The UFC is putting him in a stylistic nightmare the way they did to Tito when he was booked to get destroyed by Machida. Contract talks with the UFC broke down when Huerta lost his damn mind and asked or a better deal than BJ Penn. He wanted all types of crazy money and a piece of the ppv % pie. The UFC is booking him to lose against Maynard in case that Huerta changes his mind about his mma future and signs a more lucrative deal with strikeforce. Losing to maynard in his most recent fight will lower his negotiating power with strikeforce as well as the UFC, if he even wants a new deal at all. As a lightweight, being in the UFC isnt as important as it is for Welterweights and LIghtheavyweights, because the UFC has a monopoly on top fighters in those two divisions. Lightweights DONT have to fight in the UFC to get big fights against some of the best in the world. If Huerta goes and fights outside the UFC, he can still face top opponents like:

Shinya Aoki, JZ, Hellbow, Kawajiri, Ishida, Melendez, thompson, Eddie Alvarez, Nick Diaz…and of course, there is one of my stylistic dream fights waiting for HUerta outside of the UFC:

Roger Huerta vs. Takanori Gomi!

I dont think Huerta is one of thhe best LW’s, but he is definitely one of the more entertaining, so I woould LOVE to see him continue his mma career, regardess of its in the UFC or not, but so far, word on the street is that Huerta is done with the sport which would be a shame.

I cant pick or bet Huerta in this fight with Maynard. Its a bad fight for him stylistically. Cage Rust will play a factor, and we dont even know if he cares about this fight or just wants to get it over with so he can fulfill his contractual obligations with the UFC and move on with his life. If Huerta some how wins this fight, I would be very impressed!

Gotta agreed with you on this one John.

Johnny boy, this is one of your few rants that I actually like.

i think the Sports Illustrated cover got in his head

Im not betting this fight! Just not worth it. TOo many unknowns

Whats wrong with Americans, f*ckstick? I bet you live in America, you shouldnt talk down about the people who let you live in their native country.

I never had anything negative to say about you Roberto, but since you said that now I do.

native country? so he’s a native american not anglo american? i don’t see anything indian about that “american” farmboy

RoB is Swedish and lives in Sweden, he wasn’t bashing Americans he always bashes Gray for being an ugly farmboy and a boring fighter with no personality.

Native, as in where you were born. I’m just saying, I think Roberto was being slightly prejudice in his statement. By saying “ugly American farmboy”. That’s like me saying dirty little Mexican…..get it?

ya cause mexico isnt part of america

RoBerto isn’t playing with a full deck… but he seems like a nice enough guy, I’d give him a pass on this one.

Fcking spic roberto, suk my dik would you.

chill out.. I love USA

Lester RoB’s Swedish so using a racial slur against Hispanics is really ignorant, it’d be like calling me a French frog it just wouldn’t make any sense at all.

RoB wasn’t even being racist in the first place, he just hates the typical American amateur wrestlers from the country not because they’re American but because they mainly boring fighters and personalities. He always bashes Gray Maynard I don’t get why all of you are throwing a hissy fit and your attempts to be racist towards him are both insulting and laughable.

thanks..

Nearly all americans are stupid white trash

Don’t worry rob,
i got ya back

Agreed. I didn’t think he was sour on the sport before. I think he was just trying to get paid and not screw over the UFC by turning down fight after fight (see Rampage), so he decided a break from the sport would be best. Being so young he had plenty of time to come back it, but being shut out by the UFC for almost a year and what not- his attitude has probably got more to do them not so much the sport itself. Maybe some time and maturity will change that. I’d really like to see him fighting for the organization again.
