    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>MMAmadness’ own Ryan McKinnell has learned exclusively from a very reliable source, that UFC Lightweight superstar Roger Huerta will be making his Octagon return in Minneapolis on the UFC’s August card. An opponent has yet to be announced. Let the speculation begin…

    Sounds about right for him to make his return. Plus, he trains and lives in the Minneapolis area, so this seems like a no brainer. Word on the street is that Kenny Florian wants Huerta next, so hopefully the UFC is listening. Florian vs. Huerta would be a solid addition to that undercard.</div>

    Florian vs Huerta would be GREAT and this would give Kenny enough time to recoup and get ready as I believe UFC87 is in August.

    any other good suggestions for an opponent for Huerta?

    Florian/Huerta would make for a good fight.

    Another good opponent for Huerta would be Tyson Griffin.

    I was never a big fan of Ken-Flo, but after watching him destroy Lauzon the other night Huerta v. Florian would be a good fight for #1 contender and next person to get a shot at the lightweight title.

    gotta admire florian, I've doubted him against manny of his opponents and the dude keeps bringing it... in a dorky sort of way.

    dude is agressive and fights to win rather than fighting not to lose. I resepect that.
