He was knocked out of the season-two lightweight tournament by Pat Curran and dropped a non-title fight to thenchampion Eddie Alvarez.

Since leaving Bellator in 2010, Huerta has fought only once. He dropped awelterweight contest to War Machine at UWF "Huerta vs. War Machine"last November.

In the main event of One FC 4, former Strikeforce light heavyweight championRenato "Babalu" Sobral will take on Tatsuya Mizuno.
