I honestly think Dana likes Roger a lot. Roger is his kind of fighter. And Dana understands that everyone always want more money. I’m not sure how much damage Roger did, especially because the author of the article himself said that in the context of the interview his statements are not nearly as inflammatory as they seem out of context. What they chose to release to the media will sell their magazine and that’s the point. I think it’ll be evident what Dana’s feelings are after we see the press conference.

It also should be pointed out that Crane clearly hadn’t adapted his BJJ to MMA, whereas Kenny’s is completely. Attempting a submission and attempting a submission while being hit are 2 different things. Crane can’t do both at the same time. And yeah – he was so gassed it was pathetic. Huerta was laughing and joking with his corner before the 2nd round and looked like he’d just spent 5 minutes playing video games. It really did seem like Roger was playing around with the guy and then before the 3rd round his corner told him to cut the s**t and just finish it already and that exactly what he did.

I think Kenny definately has the right game plan, but I have learned not to count Roger out. And I’m sure Greg Jackson has put a great game plan together for Roger as well. I’m just going to sit back and enjoy the ride. The energy should be insane at the Target center. I can’t wait. I’ll bring my laptop so I can post when I get back to my hotel after the fight.

I agree with you 100% Huerta brings the same kind of game Joe did but the difference is that they won’t be fighting at mile high country. FLO by tko stoppage in the 2cnd or 3rd.

Man the general opinion on thsi fight has sure changed in favor of Roger. I for one am sticking to Kenny, I think he will win and its difficulty for him will be similar to what he was dealing with in Joe Lauzon.

Not so sure about that ViolentMike. I think the fact that FLorian fought at MW just fine makes him the naturally larger LW to me. Do you think Huerta could fight at MW as healthyly as Florian did?

Yeah, but dont try to tell me Din was out cause he wasnt. Anyway you spin it, Kenny Didnt win that fight, Din’s knee lost it.

VM: I agree that the odds will probably didctate my betting as well. I dont want to bet Kenny, cxause I feel like Huerta is going to come out and blow our minds, but like you said if I can get close to even money on Kenny, iw ould have to take it. I am very curious to see how the odds will sway by saturday. who knows, both have tons of fans. Smart money should be on Kenny, but I just think we are going to see a NEW Roger Huerta. Only way I think Kenny will win is if he really damages Huerta with some leg kicks and slows him down first. I have no proof, but I just have a feeling that Roger is going to be Insane!

Should be fun, to tough to call, so just ride the odds. Take the best odds you can ghet and dont worry about the fighter
