[edit] Ethnic background

Roger Huerta is NOT Mexican-American. He is of Salvadoran background. This is a factual error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.43.190.100 (talk) 22:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

You're right to the extent that it was not vandalism, but you're wrong to say he's not enitrely Mexican. The article you posted also says that his father is Mexican and he largely grew up in Mexico and Texas. Huerta also wears trunks in the style of a Mexican flag and speaks openly about his Mexican heritage. I haven't seen any interviews where he actually identifies as Salvadoran at all, aside from mentioning that his Mother took him to El Salvador for a short time. He should either be listed as Mexican or both, but certainly not just Salvadoran. Tuckdogg (talk) 23:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, Salvadoran-Mexican, Yugoslavian... now I have to go deal with, um: my wife, my kids, my job, dog, my home. In other words, it's called life...not wikipedia.

[edit] Only Loss

"Huerta's only loss came as a result of a dislocated jaw early in the finals of the SuperBrawl 36 tournament against Ryan Schultz on June 18, 2004, his third match of the day. [3]."

This quote from the article sounds unprofessionally subjective and biased. It would like saying that someone failed a test only because they didn't study or lost a fortune only because they bet on the wrong horse. Huerta is a great MMA fighter but this sounds like it was written by an apologist. Corrected.

Actually I see no "Only" there to describe his loss, it's merely saying how his only loss came about, it's not written in the way you describe it. MMAnzi (talk) 07:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I've restored it, he quit because of the injury. east.718 at 23:33, October 7, 2007


[edit] 5 de Mayo

Rumors say that he will be fighting by May 5th in Mexico along with the return of Tito Ortiz could someone confirm that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vik.sanchez (talk • contribs) 16:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why is an interview posted by Roger's Management company not permissible?

Chicken Wing, can you kindly tell me why North County Fight Club, who represents Roger, can't put a link on his Wikipedia page? It's to a recent video interview and seems relevant. I've checked the rules regarding links and don't see the problem. Also, we can check with Roger about any questions regarding the accuracy of the info posted herein. Just let me know. Thanks.

Your edits appear to be a violation of the policies regarding SPAM and conflict of interest. Plus, the link itself seems to add only marginally to the substance of the article. If you feel that I am mistaken in interpreting these policies, you can probably find a third-party editor or administrator that will side with you in restoring the edits.

I concur with Chicken Wing. Gromlakh (talk) 23:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
