Roger Huerta wants to be an Actor

"I saw that you have to dedicate as much as you do to training for a fight as you do for an acting role and I’m intrigued by that," said Huerta. "I’m 25 years old. I see Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture and they didn’t really hit their primes till their thirties. I’m only going to be young so long and I know that movies and agencies and what not want the young look."

First off, someone needs to break it to Roger that the peak time for an athlete is in his twenties not his thirties. The reason why it appears that fighter's peak in their so late, is because they spent a decade building up a reputation in order to compete for titles and sell pay-per views. It's called building a fighter into a draw and Huerta was the beneficiary of easy fights in the UFC in order to build him into a draw for Hispanics and a possible future expansion into Mexico. But that all went to hell in the middle of 2008.

Clearly Huerta is more interested in the lifestyle of a celebrity than the arduous career of a fighter, remind you of anyone? While Huerta raised issue with the UFC over money, PR and treatment he didn't endear himself any fans when Kenny Florian exposed him as an over-hyped fighter. Perhaps Huerta is looking to get out while the going is good? Or he is just worried that the UFC will dick him over, now that his negotiating position is shot to hell.

I know why he is leaving, it is because Arianny Celeste is mad at Roger, is there any worse punishment?
