Huerta and Guida: A Difference in Attitude

by Kid Nate on Oct 10, 2007 12:37 PM EDT in News

Roger Huerta talks about their upcoming fight December 8:

I respect Guida as a person and as a fighter, but he stands in the way of my quest for the title. It seems there are doubters out there, and this fight will serve as another opportunity to make them believers. I will be more explosive than ever. I will be, quicker, stronger, and it goes without saying that my goal is to have the UFC belt around my waist.

Here's Guida:

This is a tailor-made fight for the UFC, it has `Fight of the Night' written all over it. I'm looking forward to it, I'm sure Roger is preparing, and so am I. I am so excited to fight him and so honored to headline this card. It's going to be an action-packed fight to say the least.

See the difference? Huerta is talking about winning and Guida is talking about having a good fight. At the level these guys are fighting at every little edge matters. I'm picking Huerta, the guy with the killer instinct.

Re: Huerta and Guida: A Difference in Attitude

Huerta's got the right attitude, but I'm still very much unconvinced by Huerta. This will be his toughest fight to date.

People sleep on Guida but he's defeated Josh Thomson, Marcus Aureilio, and Bart Palaszewski. He's also faced the best of the best in Gilbert Melendez (Din Thomas and Tyson Griffin get honorable mention). He can be upset as we saw in the Tristan Yunker fight. He also lost to badass standout Yusuke Endo, but I don't hold that against him.

My point: Guida is beatable and Huerta has the tools to do it, but I have difficulty accepting it will actually happen.
