For all of the critics that said Roger Huerta only gained wins from fighting inexperienced fighters got proven wrong. Proven wrong in a big way! Roger "el matador" Huerta set out Saturday night to show the world he is the real deal and to gain the recognition that he deserves. Winning would mean a title shot. Something that Huerta has been in search of. Clay Guida was the only thing standing in his way. Guida on the other hand was looking for the same opportunity and would prove to be one of Huerta's toughest opponents by far.

Pound for pound this was a perfect match. The constant strikes, stamina, and relentless pressure that Huerta is used to applying was the exact same style that Guida is used to displaying. This was boiling up to be a great fight and one of the most anticipated fights for me in a long time.

 When the fight started I knew that Huerta was in for a tough fight. Guida came out like the crazed man he is. Landing shots, taking Huerta down, the constant pressure. Wow! It was great! This was the same for the second round as well, except Guida was getting the better of the exchanges. He actually hurt Huerta, in my opinion, in the second round but wasn't able to finish. That was all Huerta needed. A missed opportunity would be a costly mistake by Guida. The third round started and it didn't take long for Huerta to give Guida a blow to the head that proved to be the changing point. Guida went down and Huerta was able to jump on him, get some strikes to the head, and finally over the back for a submission hold. A rear naked choke to be exact. After a hard fight Guida had no choice but to tap out. It was over!

For Huerta this was a great win. A title shot win. I hope. Huerta has always been a great fighter in my eyes. With 20 wins and only 1 defeat he deserves the recognition o####reat fighter. And to the people who had doubts, you have your proof now.  Huerta deserves a title fight. Thats all he ever wanted to begin with.
