Roger Huerta made his name in the MMA world with a fast rise through the UFC. He landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated in one of the biggest moments of increased exposure for the sport during the start of the UFC's boom.
Huerta would go on to compile a 6-2 record in the UFC before leaving the promotion. He now fights in Bellator Fighting Championships where he was upset in the lightweight tournament by Pat Curran.
