Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez is ranked by most major MMA sites around No. 7, but if you ask his next challenger, Roger Huerta, he’d see you, and raise you.

“I put him in top three for sure,” Huerta told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s The MMA Hour.

Calling in on MMAFighting.com’s now twice-weekly program, Huerta also revealed that he isn’t bothered by the fact that his Bellator 33 fight on Oct. 21 won’t be for the promotion’s belt.
