He has a 3-2 record in the UFC and holds a win over Alberto Crane, a man that Huerta has also beaten. Should "Batman" get past Tavares, this could be an interesting matchup for Huerta.
The same could be said for Tavares. Whoever emerges the victor in this match could provide a valid argument for a shot at Huerta.
Huerta has only had one fight so far in 2008 and I would expect to see him fight one more time at the end of the year, either at UFC 91 in November or on the UFC's New Year's Eve show.
This leads me to eliminate a few fighters that could make for a great matchup, but who are tied down to fights that they already have coming up.
Rich Clementi is one of them. He has a rumoured date with Gray Maynard later this year and that puts somewhat of a damper on a proposed bout with Huerta at the end of the year. I'd still like to see these two get after it eventually, but if Huerta is to fight again this year, I don't see it happening just yet.
Guaranteed is the fact that, for Roger Huerta, the road ahead contains some very interesting stops on the way back to the top of the lightweight division.
