Sounds like another Brandon Vera situation here. Vera was also demanding tons of money for a new contract, got a new agent and he sat out for a year because of it. So far he's 1-2 since his new deal because all he was mostly hype before signing the deal. He did beat a quality opponent in Mir but everyone knows until recently has he really gotten back to his old self.

Now Huerta is in the same boat and all he has right now is hype. Sure he finished Guida, but that alone is not grounds to demand to be the highest paid LW in the UFC. Sounds like all he's after is money. If so, he should let his contract run out and sign for Affliction or Elite XC.
