His only win against a Legit opponent was against Guida in a fight where he was losing badly prior to pulling out the sub. Guida isn't even top 10. I will tell you why he is being talked about as a contendor. He is mexican. The latino market is one of the biggest markets for combat Sports and one the UFC is trying extremely hard to get into. Sanchez was a bust from a marketablity aspect so they have built up Huerta.

Huerta could really be the next big thing but the hype machine turns a lot of people off.

I will do an indepth break down later but mainly I think that Huerta has suspect Jiu Jitsu, which will hurt against florian and I think Kenny's discplined striking will trump Huerta's brawling style.
