I think it's Huerta's turn for a chance at the title. He's been fighting whoever the UFC has put in front of him with no questions asked and he's been kicking ass. That third round win against Guida was proof enough that the guy is tough and he ain't going down easy. He's paid his dues, he always gives an exciting performance,give the guy a shot at the title. And yes I think also agree that Huerta would stomp Florian. I’m a fan of both guys, but ken-flo had his shot at the belt and came up short. I think it’s Huerta’s turn for a chance at the title.

I am a fan of both these guys and was amazed (although I shouldn't say amazed cause Clay is an incredible fighter) at how dominant Clay was the first two rounds. But after seeing the look in Huerta's eyes at the beginning of round three I had no doubt in my mind he was going to pull it out. Florian is an incredible JJ guy and Clay was a beast during his match but I might give this fight to Huerta if they do fight. I hope I don't jinx this from happeneng......

Thought I would chime in. Roger is a buddy of mine and we chatted for about an hour and a half. This man is not exactly what you see on TV and read in mags. As far as who he is fighting I can't yet officially say, but down the road WHEN he fights for the title don't be surprised if he pulls it off. This mans dedication and drive are like nothing I've ever seen and he has an unwavering belief in himself and for the people he fights for (fans, friends, and most importantly family). I think Kenflo vs. Roger would be a great fight and I hope the powers that be make it happen :) Just thought I'd chime in on Mr.Caplan's fine site :) Hey guys what’s up, I broke the story.

Florian would be the most competitive title match. I don't think Sherk can beat Penn, and I think Florian beats Huerta because of a better ground game. Penn v.

UFC is expecting to make a foray into Mexico City soon, and Huerta was to be their poster-boy. In no way is that demeaning to Mexicans, simply good business strategy. I have always been suspect of Huerta, but i admit, he impresses me more with each fight. I am a Guida fan, and I felt Clay was easily handling Roger, but he hung in there and caught a break, which is a huge part of the fight game. I would love to see a Huerta/Florian fight, which i would expect to follow the same lines as the Guida fight, but I would be somewhat surprised if the UFC made that fight and risked damaging "the Matador" (always thought it should be Roger "El Muerta" Huerta, lol). #4, it has been widely rumored for some time, that Huerta was being pushed for mass appeal to the Mexican audience, one of the most rabid fanbases on the planet.
