Houston Alexander's Future

Houston has lost badly twice in a row now, and with only 2 fights left on his contract, a lot of people are wondering whether we will see him fight again anytime soon. Some have suggested sending him to WEC, which is not the worst idea, but I think better use of him would be to add him to the TUF 8 cast. The tryouts are focusing on Lightweights and Light Heavyweights, and frankly, this may be a way to boost his popularity back up. Who knows, maybe he'd rip through it knocking guys out and win it.

I still don't think that his "chin was exposed" he got hit with a flush shot on the jaw and while the stoppage was correct it wasn't like he was stumbling around like a drunk afterward, he hadn't gone completely lights-out. I fail to see how getting caught means you automatically have a bad chin.

One more undercard pre-lim fight in the UFC and then let him dominate in the WEC. That kid Stann looks tough but let's put him against Houston and see what happens.

Re: Houston Alexander's Future
WEC needs more HW and Alexander has some name recognition now.
Re: Houston Alexander's Future
I expect to see him in the UFC and against a total can in his next fight, to keep that popularity going.
And isn't the next TUF LWs and HWs?
What Alexander NEEDS TO DO
He's got alot of work ahead of him if he wants to continue fighting in the UFC. I still like him for his brawler style, his personality and his devotion to his family.
Hope he can get it together before he's booted off the UFC roster.
