Houston looked pretty good last night. Those leg kicks were brutal.

BabB Yes it was a win and they were brutal and I was happy for Houston but on the other hand lets not forget it was against sherman pendergarst who has a sub 500 record and came into that fight with a 5 fight loosing streak and just 2 wins in his last 14 fights. He could of not been given a easier opponent.

houston is a stand-up guy

…in the sense that it seems like he’s a really good-natured dude. he’s got a positive attitude and i think he’s good for the sport.

…but he’s also a stand-up guy in the sense that the top guys in the UFC LHW division will plant him on his back, and he’ll be in big trouble.

From Wikipedia:

Alexander is a single father raising six children.

Houston donated one of his kidneys to his oldest daughter in 2000.

Think he also rescued some kid.

I cannot believe that Sherman still can’t check a leg kick. That fight was almost a mirror image of his fight against Hardonk.

Must train with Rampage.

Dude Houston must of gotten emotional cause he just saved his UFC career. Good for him! Good people deserve good things.

What did tim weigh at fight time??? He looks terrible

Stephen Quadros: Where do you see yourself in three years.
Quinton Jackson: Let's see, I'm 22 right now. In three years I see myself being 25.

Forget that………….He still looks terrible

Houston Alexander, for me, is a true guilty pleasure. I know he’s limited in his abilities, but what little he does, is really fun to watch. I hope he is back on track and goes on to beat up on the lower tier of UFC fighters.

I love me some Sexyama!

At 2:05 of the video does The Voice actually say ‘Houston Alexander has fucked Sherman Pendergarst’? Or is it just me?

Man, I was cracking up at the end of the Houston Alexander vid and I don’t know why. Just the combination of the fight and the announcer I think. Anyway, it was an entertaining fight and I’d like to see Houston back with the UFC.

Glad Alexander won. He seemed really emotional at the end and I’ve read in many places that hes a really good person so I’m a fan on his. With the number of strange signings the UFC has been making, I think there’s a few more fights that make sense for him in the UFC now
