"There's so much that goes behind these movies that I respect these guys so much now," said Huerta. "Believe me, its either one or the other, I think that as of right now, if I want to do this movie thing I have to devote the energy (to acting) that I've put in to MMA.
"Let’s say I were to give the entertainment world, 50% of my attention and then the other 50% goes to MMA training and I face an opponent like Gray Maynard, and I get my head knocked off. I'd be endangering myself doing that."
Roger Huerta talking to Sherdog about his career dilemmas.

I guess we will find out if he gets his head knocked off or not

i guess he probably took gray seriously..
He didn’t shoot any movies, he isolated himself, etc etc… but it also looks like he’s looking to drop MMA for acting..
it’s a waste if you ask me.. the guy is real talented, and his fight against guida was epic.

Hell…if he has a choice between backbreaking workouts and ass kickings versus the relatively physically damaging career of acting, whose to tell him not to?
by ludakrish on Sep 15, 2009 1:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Nobody, he can do what he wants, I just think he might be overestimating his abilities as an actor based off one small role in a movie that hasn’t even come out yet. If he can make a better living off acting great, go for it, but if he chose to stay in the UFC he could probably get 6 figures per fight, counting bonuses and sponsorships he’d probably clear over a million a year if he fought 3 times, I’m not so sure he can “triple” that (as someone said earlier) by playing bit roles in movies like Tekken.
Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Even if he "just" makes
while acting what he could by fighting it is good. If his heart is not in fighting any longer, then I say go ahead. Even B level actors make really good money & if you dont have to go thru the grueling training while fighting why not? I liked him as a fighter, but its cool with me if any of these guys decide to stop training like madmen if they can the same if not more money acting.

He already stated that he was 100% focused on beating Gray. I’d say it’s the truth considering he went on a media blackout and actually went back to his roots to fix whatever he felt needed fixing following his loss to Florian.

yeah that kinda makes me think he took it seriously
BUT.. he seems to be decided that he’s dropping MMA after this which makes me think how serious his ‘serious’ really is..
Would he be as motivated as he was in his previous fights knowing that it could (or will) be his last?
by Anton Tabuena on Sep 15, 2009 12:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I just figured the media blackout was because Zuffa wasn’t willing to pay him extra for PR work. I know he has bitched about that in the past (even though the industry norm is that PR is part of the job).

The truth is very few actors make a lot of money. There is a saying out here about actors 95% are looking for work. Of the 5% working 95% are looking for a starring role. Very few actors make the big bucks.
That being said, he supposedly has a deal with Lionsgate for three pics, so maybe he isn’t just jumping in head first. I will try to confirm.

You are mistaking big bucks.
We are not talking about millions here. If he lands a speaking part in a movie he could easily make more than what he did while fighting. I have a friend in Cali who just landed a Levi’s ad & is getting $300,000. I have no idea if Huerta will be successful acting, but if he is smart he can make some money & not have to train every day.

For your non-movie stars, the best way to make a steady income is commercial work. National spots, like Levi’s, are seriously good monday. hell, even local spots will bring in a decent income, if you keep working

Sure, he could make some money, but these acting jobs aren’t easy to get, especially for someone who just started. He KNOWS he could make good money fighting, just seems like an odd thing to do unless he just isn’t into it anymore. I guess that’s what bothers me most about it- if you just don’t like fighting any more admit it, don’t act like you’re moving on to bigger and better things when nothing is assured.

$300,000 for a levi ad? He must already be a renown model because for a national spot, which is very rare and hard to land, you usually make from $20,000-80,000 based on how much they play(The more they play on network tv the more you make. If you do cable the returns are much lower). Often they will shoot them and dump the footage, in which case you only make your day rate or play for a short time in which case you make $5000-10,000. But there is a limit to how tv spots you can do. Advertisers do not like using overexposed faces.

It’s possible. They may have signed him to be a spokesmodel. I’m guessing part of the deal is won’t be able to do ads for any other companies. or maybe have to do several spots for them.

You may be right.
I just know that he has been living in Cali for 8 years doing only small modeling stuff (other than his Levi contract) & makes good money. My point was that Huerta is also a good looking dude & if nothing else I would think that he could make very good money doing modeling only if the acting thing doesnt pan out.

Can blame him
Acting is a much safer career. You can potentially make much more money for less work, have a longer career and not have to worry about getting injured or cut because you lost two fights.
We as fans want to see him fight, but I dont think we could blame him for leaving. Jim Brown walked away from the NFL in his prime to go into acting and says it was the best thing he ever did. Its better to get out before youre forced out.

For me, I have no problem with any fighter who decides to cash in on his good looks (while he has them) or the name that he got from the UFC. As a fan, I would like to see him still competing but you cant say it is a bad business or personal decision if that is what he wants to do.

I disagree, I do think it’s a bad business decision. He’s mad that they wouldn’t give him BJ money (which is ridiculous for a guy who has accomplished next to nothing in the sport) and that’s why he is leaving. I seriously doubt he will make as much in the next year acting as he would fighting.

So Roger likes fighting, but he doesn’t like it anymore, so he wants to commit to acting, even though he has only done it once, but he might come back to fighting, if he starts liking it more and this acting thing doesn’t work out?

I doubt you seriously believes a single loss after a 6-0 run through the ufc ranks caused him to quit.
Despite that loss, he’d still be only a couple fights out of a title shot.
On top of that, he lost in August of 2008, I’d imagine he was casted long before that fight even took place. He’s obviously had this on his mind since before he lost that fight to K-Flo.

And it’s not just the single loss, it’s the fact that he got thoroughly destroyed by a guy who isn’t even the best in his class. If Florian dominated Huerta and BJ dominated Florian would Roger really have any chance against BJ? No, but he seems to think he deserves to be paid just as much as BJ.

What does that have to do with anything? You’re really grasping at straws here. I’m not asking anyone else to care, if I did I’d make a fanpost about it.
Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Because you are the only one bringing it up!
How am I grasping at straws by responding to the ridiculous things you post?

Just say that you are mad because he hurt your feelings
by wanting to stop fighting without personally telling you why or being honest to the level that you feel you deserve. Either that or you are just mad that he has options in his life that you dont.

Maybe you are just jealous
that he has other options in his life & does not have to continue doing one thing & is not tied down by kids or marriage? I dont get you man. Normally you & I are on the same page about stuff but you are going way overboard on this one.

I think it’s funny how you keep saying I’m jealous and taking things too personally and mad yet YOU are the one continually cussing like some idiot high school kid trying to look cool in front of his friends. Like I said, he can do whatever he wants, just be honest about WHY, that’s all I’m asking for. If he actually thinks he’s going to make millions of dollars by acting just because he got one role in one movie I think he’s sorely mistaken. What I think happened is he quit because he couldn’t hack it with the really good fighters so instead of trying to improve he took the easy way out.

This says it all about your true resentment. And just because someone curses doesnt make their point any less accurate. You could have simply said that in your opinion he is making a mistake, instead of constantly going on & on about how shitty a fighter he was & bashing him.

I don’t really think I went “on & on about how shitty” he was, I just gave my opinion that he’s not nearly as good as he thinks he is by judging from his contract demands. If he wants to get paid like the best then he should fight like the best, not lose 30-27 to Kenny Florian. Florian is good and all but he’s not particularly great at anything and he thoroughly outclassed Huerta. Seems to me that Roger took the easy way out when the UFC wouldn’t give him the huge payday he wanted but didn’t deserve.
And just because someone curses doesnt make their point any less accurate.
That’s true, but you will have a much harder time convincing other people that what you’re saying IS accurate when you frame it in such a juvenile sounding context.

You keep bringing up the Florian fight,
Really man? Who cares? Anyone can ask for whatever they want & it is not up to you to agree or disagree. Please just let it go. You look more & more douchey the longer this goes on.

So if you can’t agree or disagree with anything a fighter does why are you even here? And you keep saying “who cares, who cares” about everything, well obviously YOU CARE or you wouldnt act so butt-hurt over my opinion.

dnevil001....
I have been skimming through your posts for awhile and then I noticed your signature…….
you are coming off obsessive. maybe you should take a break from the internet for awhile.
huerta is coming off very conceited and full of himself…..like hollywood is on waiting for this fight to get over so they can all bend over backwards to sign him up to be the next big hollywood star.
he’s in for a rude awakening. i hope the ufc gives him a horrible contract when he comes crawling back.

It does not take much more to make money in acting or even modeling
that’s simply not the truth. acting is probably the toughest job to succeed in, entertainment business altogether.

tekken has been in post-production limbo for like a year…and that’s his only credit. and it’s a minor role. doesn’t seem very promising/lucrative to me.

It’s a shame Guillard/Diaz is the headliner, because this Maynard/Huerta fight is the fight that people are actually interested in.
guillard/diaz does nothing for me

He can't act and fight at the same time?
That’s funny, because I swear he’s been acting like a fighter for some time now.

roger is tough
i wanted gray to win but there’s no way you can say he’s not a fighter… that kimura was damaging and he refused to tap. i have to give him respect.
by cagefightonacid on Sep 17, 2009 3:00 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
let him do what he wants to do
if he sucks as an actor he can come back and try fighting again. but whatever his choice is….who are we to say anything? i mean common does he owe anyone anything? i dont think so. he is 100% more entertaining fighter then Gray will ever be. plus i wouldn’t mind seeing some action movies where the actor is / was a real fighter. (hint Bruce LEE) im sure he will do better then that douch Sena from WWE. that fool sucks and the only reason he gets movie deals is because he looks like Matt Damon on steroid crack. (doesnt Roger look like that Josh Hartnett from 30 days of night?) maybe he can be a stunt double.

looking at things in reality
“huerta is young and good looking” blah, blah, blah. so what? he’s good looking FOR A FIGHTER, but by hollywood standards he just another dude. there are milllions of young good looking dudes in hollywoood trying to break into the biz. huerta is too short 5’9 to be considered a model (most male models are 6" or taller) actors are in general usually shorter, so he’s ok there, and that’s fine, if that’s what he really wants to do and retires from fighting to really make a go at it. but does anyone actual think huerta would have such opportunities if not for him being a ufc fighter and banging “hot donna”. i doubt it. that’s reality. i say if he does retire, he will be crawling back to mma within a year, just like cung le will be doing shortly. :)

of people on the internet arguing over a completely different persons career. To be honest it is only Rogers business. I hope he does what makes him happy. Money doesn’t mean shit in this world. You cant buy family, happiness, health, friends or a long life. I can speak from experience. My 4 kids and wife made me a wealthy man AFTER I left corporate America.

thats what mma websites are for
people debating about MMA FIGHTERS. since it’s only “rogers business” should BE not write about at all. he is a public figure and actors are natural hams, wanting as much attention as possible. if roger didn’t want “his business” to be known, he sure as hell wouldn’t want to be an actor. nobody is wishing him ill will, i just think most mma fans want fighters to be fighters while in their physical prime. i do have a vested interest in roger huerta and his mma career and choose to speak about it which is my right. as far as your personal life goes, i could give a shit less. nothing personal though :-)
