Roger Huerta’s last thoughts on Kenny Florian fight at UFC 87

Roger Huerta is hungry for Saturday night’s battle versus Kenny Florian at UFC 87 in Minnesota:

“Now it’s just time to fight. I know Kenny’s training his butt off for me. I know that I’m training my butt off for him, and I’m self-motivated. I always have been, and I have the trainers that motivate me, the guys that push me every day. And that’s the beautiful thing about our sport – we are professional athletes and we don’t need that animosity between us. At least I don’t. I look at my opponent, I want to beat him when we’re in there and I want him to say ‘hey, that guy was the better man and the better fighter for sure.’ After that I’ll shake his hand and wish him well in his career.

But when the bell rings and you’re in there, all bets are off. The adrenaline’s flowing and you’re not even thinking. The job of me and my opponent is to get the win. The referee’s job is stop the fight if someone’s in trouble. I can’t do the referee’s job for him. ”
