Adios! Roger Huerta passes on UFC contract to chase Hollywood dream
Sherdog.com has the scoop:
“I saw that you have to dedicate as much as you do to training for a fight as you do for an acting role and I’m intrigued by that. I’m 25 years old. I see Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture and they didn’t really hit their primes till their thirties. I’m only going to be young so long and I know that movies and agencies and what not want the young look…. The UFC is my home and it is my family and eventually I’ll come back. Pursuing the modeling and acting thing, that’s kind of where I’m at right now. The fighting will always be there. I’ll always have that in me. The truth is I’ve been fighting my whole life for everything, and this to me, is something else.”
Former top lightweight title contender Roger Huerta talks about his fighting future in this recent interview. “El Matador” apparently did not re-sign a contract extension as MMAWeekly.com incorrectly reported back in December. Huerta most recently lost a unanimous decision to Kenny Florian at UFC 87: “Seek and Destroy” back in August 2007. He will honor the last fight on his contract and then before bolting to the silver stage.
