Let me just say this and I’m done with this topic. Guida versus Huerta IS the wrong fight to look at here. Mainly due to the fact that Gray is: more disciplined than Guida, when the bully puts you down sometimes not even he can get up , also Gray is more like a laser guided precision bombing and Guida is more a kamikaze. However, it was watching Florian’s fight w/ Huerta that we saw that some of things Guida exposed Huerta on revisited. Thus these things become more than just an isolated incident of a walking Geico advertisement pushing a guy around the octagon and become actual holes in his arsenal.

That said the fight comes down simply to this… does Huerta focus on the problems that Guida showed and that Florian truly exposed on him or does he underestimate his opponent and end up on the receiving end of a three round Ohio-style beatdown?

Personally, I think Maynard is hungry for more and will be more focused than ever. I think his striking is cleaner, his takedowns and GNP speak for themselves, and he’ll use a version of the game plan used by Florian rather than the Bonzai charge tactics of Guida. I think his technical edge is what wins Maynard the fight BUT if Huerta knows one thing it’s how to win. So if Huerta can take Gray out of his element and force Gray to fight his kind of fight(er brawl) then the El Matador will “olay!” the Bull(y) around the octagon for 3 rounds.

Sorry I couldn’t resist the pun there at the end…

UFC would not release RH to another organization the kid is young and going to be dominant one day. Regardless he would be a big star in another org and it is doubtful he cares too too much about the UFC as can be seen by his branching out into new things. The UFC is in no way the be-all-and-end-all of RH’s career.

And hey he can also make money having himself in video games.. cuz he isn’t a nub and clearly owns his own likeness. DuRRrRrRrrrrrr

Very true words, Justin.
Huerta has a lot of options, and of course should choose whats best for him. If he’s a sportsman, then he’ll concentrate on MMA. If he’s in it just for the paycheck, or the spotlight, or the imagined fame, then he should move on to Hollywood and seize whatever opportunities are presented to him.
I don’t think anyone can fault him for whatever he chooses to do with his life, and I wish him the best in whatever road he takes.

The sport of MMA is most definitely NOT what its “all about” in terms of money.
If anyone gets into this sport to become rich, then most likely they should move on to something less hazardous to their health and with greater earning potential. While there is nothing wrong with participating in a professional sport and enjoying a decent living thru said participation, true sportsmen and competitors know that it’s about competition, achievement, and recognition in your field of endeavor, NOT just the paycheck…

BigChris,

huerta called out the winner of bj vs florian? where did you hear this dude?

Dude if this is true, “el matador” is on some ****. I’m a huerta fan, but like you said, he’s got no business doing that.

me too fr, gunny please elaborate, but not too much I am not into man-on-man loving.

back to the topic at hand. roger has a very little chance of winning this, he got manhandled by the “caveman” and then capitalized… kenny dominated roger, he made roger look average in their matchup… gray is a more talented “caveman” so i give gray the edge. roger has no buisness calling out the kenny-bj winner. if bj beats kenny, kenny is the guy who controlled roger, what makes roger think he has a shot against bj? i think those lights the photographers use may have killed a few too many of roger’s brain cells.
