Roger Huerta, Gregor Gracie Signed for Upcoming One FC Event

Fast-growing Asian promotion One FC has added veterans Roger Huerta and Gregor Gracie to their upcoming event on June 23, MMA Fighting has learned.

Their manager Ali Abdel Aziz of Dominance MMA confirmed the bookings.

Neither fighter has yet to receive an opponent, he said.

Huerta (21-6-1, 1 no contest) will be hoping to snap a three-fight losing streak dating back to May 2010. Since then, the former UFC and Bellator fighter has dropped fights to Pat Curran, Eddie Alvarez and Jon "War Machine" Koppenhaver.

The match will mark his One FC debut.

Gracie, meanwhile, will be competing in the organization for the second time, having defeated Seok Mo Kim by unanimous decision last September. That victory was his fourth straight overall, moving him to 6-1 in his pro career.

One FC's June 23 event will take place from Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Their last event drew 7,714 to a show in Kailing, Singapore.

I like roger too. However I think he had his shit together to begin with. He's just not all that great, tough as nails, just not all that great.

Roger Huerta.....what happened???

Everything after dropping the KenFlo fight at UFC 87 has just been a big letdown.

huerta wins this one i think but i'd like to see him back at 155 again

I just get the strong feeling that Huerta doesn't care about fighting at a high level anymore and has alot more outside interests that are diverting him away from maximizing his MMA potential. I think a focused and committed Huerta has promise to be a top 10 in the world, but it's been a couple of years since he's showed said promise and I think Hollywood and paydays without getting punched in the face have derailed him.
