UFC Quick Quote: Roger Huerta isn't done with fighting -- he's done with losing

"I think [the Maynard fight] could have gone either way and it’s my fault I let it go to the judges and I can’t go out like that. I can’t go out with two losses in a row. I don’t think I’m going to call it quits anytime soon. I’m still open to acting. Hopefully we get something going with that, but I’m not going to prioritize (acting) now. I’ll still prioritize fighting. If the UFC wants me back, I’d be willing to go back. I think this last fight was probably the best fight I’ve ever had, the most focused I’ve ever been. I didn’t know how crucial that Kimura was until I saw the video. I was going to let him break it. I really was. That’s the competitive blood in me. I’ve never given up on anything, and I guess that’s back in me now."
-- After a year on the sidelines in pursuit of an acting career, lightweight sensation Roger Huerta tells Sherdog.com that he's gotten the fighting spirit back following his split decision loss to undefeated contender Gray Maynard at the Sept. 16 UFC Fight Night 19 event in Oklahoma. "El Matador" satisfied the remaining fight on his UFC contract after turning down an extension last year that would have kept him inside the Octagon. So if Huerta does comes back, where does he fit within the division? Opinions please.

If only Huerta realizes that he isnt worth BJ Penn type money, he would re-sign with the UFC. Hopefuly 2 losses in a row, lowered his bargaining power so he doesnt overestimate his value any more. I want Huerta in hte UFC, but strikeforce isnt a bad consolation prize!
Someone book: Huerta vs. Gomi ASAP!!!!

Cogito, I can’t have an argument with someone I dislike? Only children argue? We aren’t even discussing MMA, why do I suddenly have no knowledge? Sure I don’t devote my entire life to watching MMA, but I do enjoy watching and should be allowed to voice my opinion as well as you or anyone else. Not sure why you thought you needed to play the heavy in this situation, but I harbor no ill feelings toward you for it. Some of this conversation would seem whack if you had no idea what I was mad about. Didn’t mention toilet paper once so not sure what that last line was about.

I’m glad you don’t hold a grudge against me for my words but the honest truth is most people don’t know why your flinging dirt so it makes you look childish. With as many people who randomly bash on John, even if you have legitimate reasons it still just makes you look like one of the many that follow the same way. Your response to me definetly shows maturity though. I just hope you can find it in you to take the high road and let the past be the past and just forget about your grudge with john. focus on having discussions with peoples opinions you respect and then this website will really start benefiting you.

Jay, you’re not discussing a difference of opinion of MMA-related matters, you’re just acting like a 4-year-old. You’re trolling, calling names and making a lame effort to start a personal pissing match. Either come with something germane to the topic at hand or go get your blankie and take a nap.

Cogito, I totally respect most peoples opinions on here. That is why I come here instead of BE or Junkie. Most of the posters on here are great to talk to. I have always read your stuff and know a little about everyone. I don’t like John at all, but I am over that, you are right I was being totally immature. I need to just let things go I guess. Sometimes I just have to take a step back and not take things so seriously. Thanks. You hit the nail on the head with the last sentence.

No worries here. Debates and differences of opinion are what make this site fun, so long as they are discussed without blanket attacks on the other person. If you don’t like John’s rants or Kevin’s rants or anyone else’s posts, either ignore them or refute them, but don’t call names or personally call out people you haven’t met.
BTW, germane = relevant and on topic.

BOW: very true Bow, its hard t not root for a guy withh such heart n grit who has been fighting battles throughout his entire life? I also see value in HUerta because in the UFC LW division which is flooded with wrestlers and JIts guys, mostly ground game division…he is one of the few, who I would label as a striker. Stylistically his fights are a nice change of pace from all the ground fighters.
losing 2 fights in a row might be the best thing that could have happened for Huerta fans…It gives us the best chance of seeing him re-sign with the UFC.
McArthur:
why do you think Gomi has a weak chin? when have you ever seen him Ko’ed?
Dana: Please get me Huerta and Gomi in the same Cage!

First sensible thing Huerta has said in a while, shame that Rampage is acting so childish now instead. Hopefully Huerta means what he says and continues to compete because he has the potential to be MMA’s Golden Boy as he is a talented and exciting fighter as well as a great role model for Hispanic fans and a symbol of how you can overcome the odds. As long as he stops acting like Cung Le and demanding BJ Penn money, Huerta could still become a huge star in MMA.

I never really cared for Huerta. And i’m also getting sick of hearing about all these fighters trying to be actors. You want to know why Anderson, Machida, GSP, BJ Penn, and Brock are so damn good? Because all they care about is fighting and training!! Once your hunger and your focus switches, you might as well quit because you’ll never be the best or beat the best at 50% dedication

I know for sure GSP and Penn have done movies, but ya that shows even more their committment to fighting.
Obviously its his life and he can do what he wants, but I think Rampage should fight for a few more years and than if he wants, make a few movies. Just me.

Fighting may be more ‘manly’ but people have bills to pay and retirements to think about. Not everyone aspires to be a Shamrock, Abbott or a Frye. Rampage is probably responsible for feeding a lot of family members and it’s nobody’s place to judge his decisions or anybody else’s.
Huerta is young and has a lot of potential. I’m glad he reconsidered.

If Rampage cared about his family he’d try to be a good role model, not a clown who drives like a lunatic and endangers the lives of others, then blames it all on Juanito and energy drinks. I used to be a fan but I’m sick of him now because all he cares about is the money, all of this “feed my family” stuff is crap and simply an excuse to justify being greedy. Most people can live comfortable lives and support their families economically and emotionally without being greedy. He has become the Sol Campbell of MMA. It makes me laugh how some of the same people bashing Cung Le support Rampage.

How does Huearta run the lw division, I can name a ton of fighters who can beat him in that weight class. He was always protected until Florian, his hardest test before that was Guida who was schooling him. Don’t get me wrong I like Huerta but he is in no way better than Maynard, Penn, Sherk, Diego, Florian, Tyson and I’m sure he’d have problems with a few more fighters but the top is beyond his reach as of right now.

Im not saying he’s better than this or that guy, Im saying the UFC need him cause he’s a star! don’t come here and tell me that Gray Maynard is a bigger name than Roger is, and with the potential Roger has he could only become bigger—
by RoBerto on Sep 23, 2009 11:36 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
All Roger needs is a good camp and he would probably beat Gray. Where does Roger train full time? Ask casual fans and women who they have heard of between Roger and Gray. Obviously Roger has the larger fan base. Most people still hate Gray for his first 5 fights all being hump-fests.
by jay on Sep 23, 2009 11:47 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
good call RoB…Roger needs to continue to train with Jackson’s camp so that he doesn’t need to reley on his chin…Roger is EXTREMELY marketable and will be even more so if the UFC can make its way to Mexico

I think he is done training at Jackson’s isn’t he? Guida trains there now. Sort of like when GSP took over and Diego left, I thought.
by jay on Sep 23, 2009 11:49 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah he used to train at Jackson. The guy is a big draw name for getting the UFC into Mexico. He’s also a stud and can get women more interested in watching MMA. I get what you meant by the UFC needs him for the LW division. There is a ton of talent there but not many names draw interest like his might. Given a year or two I assume he would be top 5 lw.
by Cogito Ergo Sum on Sep 23, 2009 12:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He trained at his old camp for this last fight, from what i could see he looked improved. He needs to work more on his footwork/striking and wrestling.
by RoBerto on Sep 23, 2009 12:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He showed improve since the Florian fight and not a sign of ring rust after a 13 month lay off. And you’re right improvement in technique in all areas is needed, but he’s moving in the right direction and isn’t stagnant.
by Dsmith on Sep 23, 2009 12:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Umm not to point out the obvious but GSP, Anderson, machida, don’t exactly have ‘it’ for movie success in the USA. Ha ha. Need English etc for that.
Also its not a matter of if Huerta is worth bk Penn money. Cause he’s not. Its a matter of boosting all the guys pay. They all need more. I will never defend zuffa in the ongoing arguements/fights over the fact these guys are underpaid. I’m glad they take off in some ways. Sucks short term, but hopefully it helps pave proper pay for these guys down the road.
That and these guys have to sit here and take Dana’s flack cause he’s no more mature then a group of 4th graders pushing the chubby 2nd grader.
Try telling the strongest most talented full grown men, they’re effin this, and effin that, this choice is wrong, and he’s a kid, and what an idiot, and see where it gets you. Dana would be dead talking to these guys if he weren’t in the position he is.
Treat them with respect. Pay them accordingly. And maybe you won’t continue to see more cases like: randy. Tito. FEDOR. Huerta. Diaz, rampage. And yes Anderson, who by the way cannot wait to get out of the grasps of zuffa.
What a coincidence. Oh no wait! Maybe its the truth! But you guys only listen to Dana cause he says it the loudest, longest, and the most. Smart thinking.

Huerta looks like an action star, and obviously has what it takes to do a fighting scene, but he has nowhere near the charisma of a Rampage Jackson.

On screen charisma can be created. No one cares how you behave in everyday life. Rampage would be type cast very quickly and his “type” doesn’t pay well.

Rampage needs to man up… ‘shut the f*ck up’ do his movie and go back to fighting… let D. White run his big yap for awhile afterall this is costing the UFC lots of $$$, Dana should be pissed as expected. I think he’s been reasonably upset so far in par with the situation.

The UFC lightweight division does not lack competition. There are still plenty of good fights for Roger Huerta. Huerta has proven time and again that he comes to fight. Nate Diaz would be a great fight but there are so many other possibilites. Joe Lauzon, Joe Stevenson, Tyson Griffin, Frankie Edgar, Jim Miller, Efrain Esudero or even George Sotiropoulos would be awesome fights. I don’t think the question is where does he fit within the division, the questions is who should he fight next?

Ha ha! The same diaz that was getting destroyed by melvin until he gift wrapped a guillotine for him cause there was more ego in that cage than kanye? Ha ha man, that’s rich!

It’s awesome to hear that Roger’s still got it in him… it shocked me that he was willing to retire, considering how hungry he always seemed to climb the ladder. I think the loss to Florian really threw him off, but IMO he beat Maynard, and I can see him matching up really well with any of the other fighters at 155, especially Edgar, Stevenson or Diaz. He’s head and shoulders above Danzig, so I wouldn’t be excited to see that one. Whether people want to call Roger a pretty boy, actor wanna be, etc, he comes to fight every time, and that’s more than I can say for many of the fighters that are on a win streak in the UFC right now. It’s just an added bonus that he looks hot in tight shorts.
