Roger Huerta Says Leaving the UFC ‘Wasn’t Really a Big Deal’
The addition of Roger Huerta to the Bellator lightweight division has given the upstart organization a nice boost as it prepares for the start of its second season on April 8.
But what about Huerta’s relationship with his former employer, the UFC? Huerta really made a name for himself fighting inside the Octagon eight times over the course of three years and even became the first and only MMA fighter to land on the cover of Sports Illustrated while a member of the UFC roster. In other words, the UFC has been a big part of his fighting life.
When Dan Henderson chose to sign with Strikeforce instead of the UFC, he said he wanted to personally break the news to Dana White, but on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM Fight Club, ‘El Matador’ said that his UFC run ended quietly.
