WKR loves twitter. Is there any other social platform for fighters' to incessantly tease us with possible signings and fight announcements?

Huerta has spent the last few weeks in Thailand eating octopus and training Muay Thai.

When we last saw Roger Huerta fight in the UFC it was back-to-back loses to Gray Maynard and Kenny Florian. This followed a dispute with Zuffa management following a six-fight win streak inside the Octagon. Huerta had previously mentioned that he wanted to explore acting.

If Huerta were to sign with Strikeforce he could fight Josh Thomson, K.J. Noons, Mitsuhiro Ishida, Jorge Gurgel, Billy Evangelista, Vitor Riberio and of course whatever lightweights Strikeforce could use from Dream.
