Roger Huerta gets DQ win over fellow UFC vet Hayder Hassan for first winning streak in more than 10 years
Roger Huerta, the man who once graced the cover of Sports Illistrated as a UFC standout, still is an active fighter, and today he picked up a win over a fellow octagon veteran.
Huerta (24-9-1) defeated Hayder Hassan (6-4) in a welterweight bout today at Phoenix Fighting Championship 4, which took place at Dubai World Trade Center in Dubai. The victory was hardly clean, though. It stemmed from Hassan being disqualified due to a series of illegal elbows to the back of Huerta’s head (via Twitter):
Regardless of how the fight unfolded, Huerta got his hand raised in his first fight in 13 months. “El Matador” last competed at ONE Championship 49 in November 2016, where he took a split decision over Adrian Pang.
Prior to Huerta’s current two-fight winning streak, which is his longest since 2007, the 34-year-old had lost six of seven bouts. Hassan, meanwhile, has dropped three-straight and is winless since October 2014.
