Roger Huerta Makes More Negative Comments Towards The UFC

What is he saying now?
During a recent interview with MMAMadness.com, UFC lightweight Roger Huerta had more negative things to say about the UFC:
"They put these videos on the UFC where I said the fight (with Kenny Florian at UFC 87) was going to be a "cakewalk". They fucking pissed me off because what I was saying is that, COMPARED TO MY LIFE, this fight is a cakewalk. It was in no way a disrespect to Kenny, it's just with all the shit I've been through as a kid, fighting Kenny is a cakewalk. Anyway…when it comes down to it, it really is just a fight…it's just a fight."
He's sounding more like the Mexican Tito now. The UFC does have an obligation to sell the fight

At least this guy has his head on straight and knows fighting isnt the most important thing in the world. Having said that, you have to know the UFC is going to try and sell any sound byte they can.

C'mon -- with Kenny starring in the hot new summer movie 'Tropic Thunder,' why would UFC need to sell the fight any harder?

You can sell the fight without selling out your fighter.
Editing and cutting up what the fighters are saying in interviews to make it sound like they are saying somethig else is low. UFC needs to have a little respect.

boy, months ago Huerta was considered a golden boy in MMA. Now it seems like he may be on the way down if he loses to Florian next week. Wonder how Rogan and Goldy will treat all of this stuff.

i agree wit top, editing and making it look like they r sayin sumthin they arent is pretty low. like when CNN edited wat Cena sed about steroids

I'm just gonna shake my head in shame at how stupid a comment like "The Mexican Tito" sounds.
