It’s great to pursue your dreams and I encourage that, but I hope he knows what he’s doing because if he’s wrong…

Huerta is very delusional IF he thinks his name holds any real weight outside of the MMA or better yet the UFC. His hype is due in large part to Leonard Garcia, Clay Guida and the UFC marketing machine. I mention Garcia and Guida, because great fights are created by two active performers NOT only the winner. Florian just exposed his lack of technique. Huerta-Guida II would be sweet!!

Some one needs to inform Huerta that Tekken will not crack $100 million at the box office. I doubt it will crack $50 in its first 3 weeks. According to IMDB.com Cung Le appears to be work. Huerta is not even listed for Tekken. So yeah, it may be a mistake but with the right agent and manager he can have a career that surpasses former NBA champion John Salley.

So you know Dana will look at Huerta’s manager with a smirk in 2010 and state, “Do you really think I’m going to f*ckin offa your f*ckin wanna-be Hollywood boy the same amount of f*ckin money he turned down back in 2009?!!? Do you know how many f*ckin lightweight and f*ckin welterweight stars we have now?!!?”

It’s just disappointing to see him walk away as his only loss in the UFC was against Joe Florian, another great lightweight. Huerta shouldn’t be ashamed of his loss or his pay considering only a few in the UFC make bank while everyone else gets working wages. Sure, you can always make some money with action movies, but as a young fighter, the cage is where he should be. Maybe it was all a lie to get out and fight elsewhere…

I like Randy Couture (along with 99.9% of all MMA fans) but I think he’s getting to the point where he’s made so much money outside of the cage that he’ll never be 100% devoted to fighting. The guy has gyms, clothing lines, and enough recognition to get him wherever he wants to go. But this different between him and Huerta is that Couture has been well-known and respected for many many years and he can use his name to get whatever he needs.

I don’t know if Huerta’s making a mistake, you never know. He may have decent roles lined up that has nothing to do with fighting. Probably not. But seriously, if he’s able to make a living continuing training, sparring, pursuing acting, modeling, and maybe conducting seminars then why not. I’m sure his UFC pay rate had a lot to do with his decision, maybe he can make more money else where. Reportedly some fighters make more money outside of their day gig.

2010 sound right.

I’m not the biggest Couture fan but failed comeback attempt? He never really left. He performed well enough against the younger, stronger, bigger Brock to be considered a success. No? Randy made the fight very competitive.

I would put money that he will fight somewhere in 2010, if not before.
