Huerta is the "real deal" in that he deserves to be in the UFC etc., him beating Guida proves that (even if I do think that Guida would take it 9 times out of 10 against Huerta).
Still, I think he's overrated somewhat, only in so far as I don't think he's ready for those at the top of the division (what happened in the Guida fight won't happen everytime), and that those that aren't rated that highly could still beat him, stylistically etc.
He's exciting, and he's good. He isn't great, and I think he still has further to go than I think most other people do.
Also, if I were the UFC and wanted to push a Hispanic fighter I would've picked up Gil Melendez. He may not have the instant appeal of Huerta, but he's just as exciting, if not more so, and more importantly he's just a much better fighter, and having a much better chance to have gold around his waist would help much more IMO.
