Highlights! Gonzalez Stops Huerta Via Strikes
Roger Huerta returned to the cage earlier today after a 17-month layoff to face Christopher Gonzalez at Bellator 255 inside Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Coming into the Lightweight bout, “El Matador” was riding a three fight losing streak, having last tasted victory in 2017, a disqualification victory over Hayder Hassan.
When it was all said and done, Huerta left the Bellator cage with four straight losses after suffering a third round loss, tapping to strikes. But it was all Gonzalez prior to that, because the rising standout dominated the bell from beginning to end, even winning a 10-8 round in the opening frame.
