Since Roger Huerta made an announcement not so long ago that he did not re-sign with the UFC and wants to pursue opportunities in acting and possibly modeling, he’s come under fire from a lot of people in the MMA community.
Huerta stated that he was given an opportunity to act in the Tekken movie and was offered more opportunities by Lionsgate Films. He’s only 25 years old and he’s been offered other opportunities in life, so why not give it a shot? I’m an opportunist, myself, so I can relate. You have to weigh the options. Hmm? Should I do the same thing I’ve been doing for a long time, or should I try something new? Should I act like a fighters and not have to take a punch to the face or a kick to the leg, or should I take those punches and kicks and get paid about the same amount of money? I know what I would do.
No matter what you do in life, when an opportunity arises that you want to take advantage of and pursue or expand, then you need to dive in hear first. You never know what your potential is unless you try. Huerta’s trying something new and improving himself and his resume. Being a UFC fighter is a huge deal to many, but he wants dream bigger. Good for him.
