Alberto Crane or Roger Huerta

I cant hellp but think Crane is going to dismantle Huerta. Roger, to me, looked dominated in the first round and some of the second in his fight with Doug Evans. He was obviously frustrated with not being able to get the takedown after several attempts. He also gave his back to Evans a couple times.

With that being said, if Huerta comes out sloppy against Alberto Crane he'll get caught. And I pray he doesn't give his back to him.

I got Crane by decision, split.

Any naysayers, bring it on. Thoughts? please and thanks

To date, these are the fighters Crane has fought.

Fighter ----------- W - L

Jeremy Crowe ------ 0 – 1
Richie Reyes ------- 5 – 7
John Mahlow ------- 8 – 9
Takuhito Hida ----- 1 – 9
Christian Carvalho - 2 – 1
Javier Vazquez ---- 11 – 2
Joe Vigil ----------- 12 – 11
Nick Shadwick ----- 0 - 3

Total -------------- 39 - 43

Although Huerta has not been tested and is mostly UFC hype until this changes, I don't think beating these guys is enough to prepare Crane for a fight with Roger.

i almost think he is going to win to, but if he does it is going to be by sub
huerta is good but he is almost cocky when he fights, and he isnt good enough to be cocky yet

That doesn't look too impressive, still I hope he beats Huerta.

I strongly dislike the way they contantly give him new comers and put him on the main card. He may be exciting but this is just ridiculous. They need to give him a top LW by now.
Joe Silva told Joachim Hansen they're not intrested in him but they keep finding new lw's for Huerta to beat and turn him into a overrated mexican posterboy.

Alberto by submission. All Huearta has is a puncher's chance.

I hope Crane wins just to fuck with the UFC's plan to overhype Huerta.

Good points! But I guess I am basing my prediction on Huertas last fight. Crane is a world champion jiu jitsu practiononer isn't he? And the way that Evans had his back and what not are not something Huerta should take for granted with Crane.
