There was a point in time, which coincided with a brutal soccer-kick KO loss to Zorobabel Moreira in One Championship, that Roger Huerta found himself drifting far from the mindset that he felt would be appropriate for a professional fighter.
“I’ll just say it,” Huerta told Sherdog.com. “Before, I was in this ‘Kumbaya’ spiritual type of mentality, and I understand that I can’t be having this sort of mentality going into the fight game…I have to have that killer instinct, go for the attack. Just go for it, that’s what I mean.”
The Moreira loss in June 2012 was Huerta’s sixth in his last seven professional MMA bouts.
