Quote of the Day: Roger Huerta, "I Got the Better of Him"

"I approached the man calmly and said, "Do you know what you just did? You just knocked out this girl."
But Huerta claims the other guy responded, "F*ck you, f*ck these bitches, I'll knock out any f*ckin' bitch that I wanna f*ckin' knock out, I'll knock your f*cking bitch ass out."
Huerta added, "... and as he's saying this, he's taking off his shirt ... and at that point I was like, alright.'"
Huerta insists that he didn't throw the first punch -- and only reacted when the other guy "started swinging at me" ... and we all know what happened next.
"I got the better of him and I left," Huerta said.
The 27-year-old explained, "If that was my mom, if that was my sister, my spouse, anyone ... I would've wanted someone to step in and do something about it."
Roger Huerta talks to TMZ.
Bonus, a legal analysis of Huerta's remarks by Austin, TX criminal defense attorney Jamie Spencer in the full entry:
From an email, Jamie Spencer:
I think it's pretty good stuff.
We don't see any self defense, or mutual combat type behavior on video, but it could have happened, and I see these quotes as setting up a defense.
From a CDL perspective, I like the quotes. To hell with giving up the "it wasn't me" part of the defense, assume they can prove that. So then you need a defense. Self defense (I hit him first but only because I reasonably believed it was necessary to protect myself from the unlawful force he was about to use against me") is a viable option, if what Huerta says happened really happened.
And, from the PR perspective, again, it's a bonanza.

Roger just increased his female fan base by 100 with that clip! Even the casual fight fans will be interested to see him fight in the octagon now.

Who do you think his biggest fan base is anyway? Look at him. He’s a pretty boy. My wife makes me feel like shit every time we see him fight.

haha, I know. But if anything – I think this helps with his male fanbase. Seems most guys look up to a guy who stands up for the ladies.

Real talk.
I know Roger and have hung out with him before. I’ve also hung out with a lot of gorgeous, beautiful women in my time. Girls that walk in to a room and everybody’s head turns to look. Roger is the only man I’ve ever met who has the same influence. Every fucking head turns. His looks, charisma, and the way he carries himself put him on a level above any other guy I’ve known. It’s insane.

It proves that he dropped him. Doesn’t prove the stomp.
BTW, the fact he’s talking about it indicates he’s either disobeying his lawyer or has been reassured there won’t be criminal charges.

Agreed
I think he actually did consult his lawyer before saying something. There was no denying he was there and involved in the incident. But like I mentioned earlier he never said exactly what he did. All we really got a shot of was him taking his shirt off then running after him.
I don’t mean to burst any bubbles, but no one needs the video to make a case here. It looks like there were maybe 100 witnesses.
by Jonathan Snowden on Aug 5, 2010 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions
Unfourtantly if the witnesses were all drunk (and since they were outside of a bar its a high chance) then very little of what they said would be valid.
you ever tried to subpoena a bunch of random drunks that have all scattered?

Not a big fan of normal bacon...
Quitting drinking is killing me though, especially throughout the summer. I can’t wait for next year.
I'm with you.
I just don’t get the appeal. Unless it’s served as a dipping tool for my sunny side up eggs.
Why’d you quit drinking?

Mmm... Turkey bacon and eggs...
Quit drink to support of my lady while she is prego.
Probably wouldn’t have made it, but a couple of my buddies told me I would fail so I got extra stubborn.
I haven’t had a drink in 3 months. :S

Must resist JOKE
Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.

True. I guess I just loved the whole fucking thing. Another classic match that really got me into the sport.

was that that’s what happens in every Garcia fight. That’s just how Garcia fights. And it’s awesome.

The act of “Rogering” has just been given new meaning
"Ten more seconds is all I ever ask. That's the good thing I learned about being KO'd twice. You don't see it coming -it's like death- you don't plan for it so don't wait for it. So many people are afraid of getting Ko'd that their hands stay home, but not me. I got to go out there and shoot the lights out and fall down" Jens Pulver
I’m definitely going to state that someone recently was “Huerta’d” when referring to someone getting their ass kicked for hitting a woman.
