Possible Aoki Super-Fight for Phuket’s Huerta in One FC

Roger Huerta was the rising star of the lightweight division, before injuries and subsequent defeats to names such as Eddie Alvarez and Gray Maynard. Shinya Aoki was a Shooto champion and PRIDE star, and then the spearhead of the DREAM promotion. Well, now DREAM have folded, and Aoki is in the One FC fold.

Huerta is looking to leapfrog back into the divisional elite. Aoki just lost a rematch with Eddie Alvarez, but has been a top 10 lightweight since 2006, and holds more top 10 wins at lightweight than any other fighter in MMA history. Beating him would be a fast track back to the top for the dangerous and hungry Mexican Huerta.

Huerta trains with the best BJJ in Phuket, and Thailand itself, under 3rd degree black belt Olavo Abreu, and black belt Praxedes. Top Team also has world class wrestling, boxing and of course Muay Thai instruction, and is the premiere camp for MMA in Thailand.
