The doctor stoppage in Roger Huerta‘s recent TKO loss at the hands of Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez was questioned by some, but credit the cageside physician for saving Huerta from further damage.
According to Huerta’s manager Jeff Clark, the game lightweight suffered broken orbital bones in both eyes during the course of the bout.

Let’s say that you were in Philadelphia last night, perhaps wandering around looking for the Philadelphia Doll Museum. Maybe you heard that Pagano’s had better cheesesteak than any of those South Philly stands, or you wanted to check out the (allegedly) wild party scene at Temple University. Well, while you were standing there shoving a pound of cheap steak, fried onions, and Cheez Whiz in your face, you might have heard a dull roaring noise coming from the Liacouras Center. That was the sound of Bellator XXXIII. Maybe you forgot with all the excitement around UFC 121 this weekend, but Bellator’s third entertaining season is ending, and they are going out shooting, son.
Erstwhile welterweight champ Lyman Good returned after a sixteen month injury layoff to defend the strap against Ben Askren, rising star Rick Hawn made his debut, and local boy Eddie Alvarez took on a legitimate super fight against Roger “The White Knight” Huerta. If you just facepalmed because you forgot to set your DVR, relax; I got this. Follow me in after the jump, and I’ll recap the televised fights and possibly crack some jokes. Keep in mind that I make no guarantees of quality, but if you don’t read on, you’ll probably hate yourself when the cool kids in the cafeteria start talking about it. Keep it in mind.

When Bellator inked Roger Huerta back in March in their first significant free-agent signing, company CEO Bjorn Rebney probably pictured him one day facing Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight championship. Things didn’t play out that way. Huerta lost a close split-decision to Pat Curran in the tournament semifinals, and the fight that was probably the biggest bout the promotion could have hoped for seemed like it wouldn’t happen.
But life has a funny way of bringing together the inevitable, and when Curran suffered an injury that put him out of action, Rebney wasted no time in approving Alvarez-Huerta. The bout takes place as the main event of tonight’s Bellator 33 at the Liacoruas Center in Alvarez’s hometown, Philadelphia.
While the fight is a non-title bout, it still should be hotly contested, with both men bluntly stating they have something real to prove. For Alvarez, it’s a chance to further cement his place as one of the lightweight division’s elite while Huerta aims to put his recent struggles behind and reestablish himself as a rising star.

With Bellator in the midst of promoting the biggest card in company history – Bellator 33 – which features a superfight between lightweight stars Eddie Alvarez and Roger Huerta along with a welterweight title match between unbeatens Ben Askren and Lyman Good, there have been complaints from fans about preemptions which make finding the organization’s fights difficult.
But company Bjorn Rebney recognizes that addressing the issue is a pivotal development in any future growth. Currently in the midst of negotiations for TV rights to the upcoming fourth season which will begin in February 2011, Rebney says live television is a must.

Roger Huerta has never been known to be a fighter who craved the spotlight. If you’ve ever talked to him, you would quickly realize that he is that rare, shy athlete, who generally feels uncomfortable talking about himself.
That’s the way he was when he became the first MMA fighter to land on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and certainly the way he has been since he became a TMZ star last month.
In early August, a video surfaced of Huerta knocking out another man on the street after the man knocked out a young woman outside a bar in Austin, TX. When TMZ released a video of the street fight, Huerta instantly became the talk of the MMA world once again, but also the talk of the gossip world.
No one heard from Huerta again until he showed up on a TMZ live stream to discuss the incident.

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.
