Daniel Huerta Gonzalez Media TV interview on Predator FC

In the Daniel Huerta Gonzalez Media TV interview, Huerta said mental maturity has been the biggest change since his MMA debut at 18. He told us he feels more confident after two years of fighting experience, sees the Predator FC pay-per-view on MILLIONS as a chance to prove his level, and returned to martial arts after pursuing soccer.

How has Daniel Huerta changed since his MMA debut?

Daniel Huerta said his biggest change as a fighter has been mental. He began fighting at 18 and, after two years of experience, feels more mature and more confident in himself. He connected that growth to learning what a fight demands and how to prepare for one.

Looking back at his debut, Huerta described himself as young and unfamiliar with several parts of fighting. He did not yet know as much about the preparation or everything involved in a bout.

Those two years have changed how he approaches the sport. Huerta said the experience has helped him feel more secure both as a fighter and as an athlete.

What does the Predator FC pay-per-view mean to Daniel Huerta?

Daniel Huerta called his place on the Predator FC pay-per-view a major opportunity to show what he can do. The event was set to air live on MILLIONS, and he said he was excited to demonstrate that he belongs at that level.

For Huerta, the opportunity is about putting his development in front of an audience. He had just described the confidence gained since his debut when the conversation turned to fighting on the pay-per-view.

Huerta put his ambition this way:

que estamos echos para esto y para más.

He said he wanted to show that he was at the required level. He did not frame the appearance as the end of his progress, but as a chance to demonstrate what he has become capable of doing.

When did Daniel Huerta first start martial arts?

Daniel Huerta said he started martial arts at about seven or eight years old and continued until he earned a black belt. That early training came before a break from martial arts, his interest in soccer and, later, his move into MMA training.

Starting at seven or eight

His account of becoming a fighter began well before his MMA debut at 18. Huerta described years of childhood martial arts practice, rather than a first introduction to training shortly before he began fighting.

Earning a black belt

Huerta said he stayed with that early training until he reached black-belt level. He then stepped away from martial arts for roughly two or three years before returning to train in other disciplines.

How did Daniel Huerta return to MMA after pursuing soccer?

Daniel Huerta said he became more interested in soccer during a two- or three-year break from martial arts, then returned to combat sports. His subsequent training included kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling, and he said he had been training for MMA for about four years.

A break to pursue soccer

Huerta described soccer as the sport that drew his attention away from martial arts for a time. He linked that interest to growing up in Mexico, where he said wanting to play soccer felt natural to him.

Kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling

When he came back to martial arts, Huerta named kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling as parts of his training. That return led into MMA: he said he had trained for roughly four years, while his fighting debut at 18 was about two years earlier.

The distinction matters to his account of his progress. His years of MMA training include time before he began fighting, while the mental growth he emphasized came from the experience gained since his debut.
