Looks like he is going to throw him to Sherk, and I just dont see how Huerta even looks competitive in the fight. I guess thats what you get when you dont want to be a "F*cking Fighter"

Tough fight for Roger, it would be great to see Roger smash Sherk and rub it in Dana's face. Realisticly I cant see Huerta beating Sherk though.

Dana is a vengeful dude. Sherk should pound him right into the ground. If he beats Sherk though, would he really walk away when he finally would be in line for a title fight?

Wow I can't believe my eyes..Huerta will rock Sherk! He has terrible hands and such a short reach. Sean can take a punch though, but so can Roger and he wins this probably by unanimous decision.

You seem to be forgetting the fact that Sherk will take Huerta down at will and toss him around like a ragdoll. This is the same Huerta who was getting tossed around by Clay Guida for most of their fight. Sherk will take him down at will and ground and pound him to death.

Fortunately for Huerta I do not think this fight ever camke together.

That's the only shot he has at winning, but I don't see it going that way to be honest. Rog's wrestling isn't bad at all either, and I think Short Arm Sherk will have a tough time closing the distance to shoot in on him. He's not aggressive like Guida who wasn't afraid to take a few and rush in on Roger.

Sherk is like Guida on steroids (literally). This reads like someone who has not seen Sherk fight. Roger's wrestling is not even comparable to that of Sherk. Huerta could not stop Florian from taking him down, and Florian is not the wrestler Sherk is. Sherk has only ever lost to GSP, Penn, and Hughes and Huerta is not on his level. Sherk will take Huerta down and he will end him.

Huerta is pretty overrated. He was well on his way to losing to Guida before Clay made a dumb mistake and then he was outclasses by Florian. Huerta is a good 155 lb. fighter, Sherk is a great one. Sherk is a tailor made fighter to beat Huerta.

This fight is dead anyway.

Sherk is fighting Frankie Edgar at UFC 98.

Huerta probably wouldn't sign.
