saying this for a while now, forrest and jardine are overrated, one dimensional dudes. throw bonner in that same category if you think hes good too. alexander threw down a beating, but is anyone really surprized? guys that love to mix it up are always gonna be fan favorites, but cmon… you have to be strong in multiple areas if you are gonna be legit. unless your name is chuck liddell

How many GasManShad’s are there? There’s this one and the one in blue with “deleted” as his website? We really need a log in.

Anyway, that is EXACTLY what the guy from Extreme Challenge told me. He said this guy hits like a truck. Props to him. He didnt hype it, he didnt lie to make his org look good. He said HA’s boxing is incredible and that with one punch, the fight is over. No doubt about it. HA signed the standard 3 fight new guy deal. I guess he going to get to keep the last 2 fights on it.

I was very impressed with HA’s demolition of Jardine but Jardine’s stand-up is average at best. HA has established his ability to recover from a punch & established that he has massive punching power but it takes more than that to reach the top. I really liked what I saw in him but HA will need to beat another Named fighter before I completely co-sign him.

I agree with the whole signing in thing. I dont need anyone misrepresenting myself more than I already do on my own.

This guy is a beast. He was definitely rocked by Jardine early, but recovered beautifully. Jardine is a bit overrated. I have always thought he was kind of slow. However, I am not giving up on him being in or around the top 10 in the UFC, but with all of the new signings, he is being pushed down.

Houston is a an animal..Something told me Jardine was going to be in a war..the guy looked jacked his UFC debut..I knew he was going go for broke..Damn that upper cut that first connected…did it. Houston had a weird fighting stance..but in clinch that’s all she wrote for Jardine..he didn’t know what happened.

This was such a good fight and it surprised so many people. If you bet on Alexander to win, then you took home a great pay check. I know that on the site I bet on, his pay out was 4-1.

Cha Ching. Last night was the undercards night.

it’s good we need good guys to fight everyone coming over in this division, Chuck vs Wandi, Rampage vs Hendo, Alexander vs Shogun!

Oh, definitely too early to start a bandwagon ( well, Sherdog already has ), but his next fight will tell us something. He needs to face a 205 BJJ fighter. I wanna see what he’s like on the ground. Though in this division, you really only need hands to be great. Not many real BJJ/grapplers left after Chuck got rid of them all. Maybe Babalu next? There at the same point on the ladder. Ya hearing me JSilva?

Just in case you missed it:

Those uppercuts actually PICKED Keith up off the canvas. Incredible power.

All I have too say is go back to the Picks thread. Not one of you guys gave Houston a chance. I picked him from the beginning. I won nearly 18 hundred dollars on him last night.

I wouldn’t go as far as thinking he could handle a top tier fighter but he might be a good gate keeper.

I have been saying from day one that Jardine is stiff and over rated.

Knocking out Forrest Griffin doesn’t mean much…..

You bet $400 on a guy who wasnt given a chance by anyone? Do work for EC, or know the guy? Or are you…
NO ONE explained their reasoning why they picked him. So as far as I’m concerned, no one did pick him. Saying it and saying it/backing it up are 2 different things.

When Danny Abaddi fights Fedor next month for the Pride Title, I’m telling ya, Danny is gonna win. “Bet on it!”

I would test homeboy for juice, he was to lit up.

Yeah I would also like to see how his urine test comes out.

that clinch saved his life, not sure what Jardine was doing there except taking a beating in the clinch.

just one gasmanshad… from several different computers

Everyone is always stating that Jardine and Forrest and them are overrated, do we even need to go over that? Does anybody believe they are not? This guy is a level above them apparently, like MTUFC, lets see him fight a couple more, see what he is really made of.

Houston, Keith, Forrest, and Chuck Liddell all go in there and bang for the buck, which worked for Chuck for years, but it seems like he is the only one really before last night to perfect the bang for the buck and win alot.
Houston is a new hip thing in UFC, but match him up with another striker, possibly Forrest or someone else, Houston might get knocked out. Houston Alexander vs. Chuck Liddell is looking nice.

i know he was excited but he needs an ass whoopin for the way he acted AFTER the KO. im not sure if there was bad blood or what but i hope HA gets that ass whooped in his next fight. during the fight though, OMG those uppercuts were Vicious!!!!

Oh and am i the only one who didnt know the WAYAN’S brothers branched out to MMA.

Oh and am i the only one who didnt know the WAYAN’S brothers branched out to MMA.

LOL! There is a resemblance.

He might be a beast, but he is already 33 so he only have 4 more years left to be an elite fighter. He better train harder cause i think Jardine is over-rated. And being in the top five in the light heavy weight is goin to be hard now since the ufc have shogun, rampage and now the hollywood henderson. Oh yeah dont forget tito and the future hall of fame Chuck.

very well said st amour

Houston Alexander’s punching ability, especially in the clinch, reminds me of Tank Abbott, and the way he destroyed Jardine is very similar to some of Tank’s beatdowns. It looks like some of Fedor’s beatdowns (from the clinch) as well. The UFC needs to put Alexander up against a contender (or contenders) who can really test his outside striking (more than what Jardine did), takedown, takedown defense, endurance, and ground game — if he still dominates, watch out, Chuck, Rampage, Wanderlei, Shogun, Hendo, Soko, etc.

did anyone see HA stand over Jardine and talk trash while he was knocked out, what was that about, he just beat him senseless,

Yeah, I saw that. I thought it was a poor display on his part. You don’t see Anderson Silva or Randy Couture standing over their downed opponents after they knocked them silly. Dana should be all over the guy for being a professional but you know his eyes just lit up with $$$. Not professional at all.

Yeah I would also like to see how his urine test comes out.

I don’t think steroids are on the tests. They only test for bad PR drugs such as cocaine and other “bad” drugs. Just like football for MANY years I am guessing steroids are very present in MMA. Anyone have any info on this?

Houston is a beast that was pure instinct with those punches.

i really dont think beating the dean of mean was that impressive. what was impressive is how he recovered from some HUGE shots

i really dont think beating the dean of mean was that impressive. what was impressive is how he recovered from some HUGE shots

your right it was impressive how he recovered from that first shot, and maybe beating Jardine isnt that impressive but give him credit, he didnt just beat him, he would have killed the guy had there been no ref and i mean his upper cut brought jardine off his feet

Good to know.

YOU my friend are an idiot,Couture spanked Tito like a liitle boy,hilarious but probably not “professional”.Houston was excited and for being under the underdog underdog he handled everything leading up to and after the fight “Proffesionally”.Your the same kind of guy that can’t stand seeing college kids celebrate in the endzone or think that all sports should be fair and balanced with no losers,What he did was’nt that bad at all and the guy is nothing but respectful to everyone around him!So basically shut up and let fighters be fighters!Go hug a tree or watch a sad movie quit watching the UFC!

Knocking out Forrest Griffin doesn’t mean much…..

I agree I can’t read this babble any more your all a waste of time and very uneducated on fighting in general.Bunch of Monday morning quaterbacks.

I had Houston picked to win from the beginning. I’m 19 and i fight locally here in Omaha,Nebraska (same place as HA) and i have seen him fight a couple times before. I’ll tell you that he definately has not been juicing because he is always in that good of shape. Also, he has sick outside standup and I never had a doubt in my mind that he would lose. I hope he goes far in the UFC.

Let’s be clear on this. Houston has been built like that for at least 10 years for those that know him. He sure as hell does NOT juice. He is a guy that works damn hard, and is raising six kids by himself and trying to provide for them. He is a stand-up man in that regard alone. Further, there are urine tests completed prior.

Also, Mick Doyle deserves some credit for this win. Mick trained Houston, and Mick is a 2-time world champion kickboxer based out of Omaha, Nebraska.

Give the man his due and give him the benefit of the doubt. Here is hoping this is the first of many decisive wins.

Now this guy I believe. Good luck with your career also. You guys some some nice fighters out there in EC.

GOOD FAST KO BUT DID HE HAVE TO PRETEND HE WAS POSSESSED AFTER HE WON WHAT A FUCKIN LOSER I THINK HE IS TAKING LEBENS SPOT FOR THE LOOK AT ME I’M KOOL ACTING PSYCHO WITH THAT STUPID SNARL THATS SOMETHING THAT SHOULDVE LEFT WITH RANDLEMAN AND 3 WEEKS DOWN THE RD. ALEXADER WILL FAIL HIS DRUG TEST TOO

This guy Alexander was no joke. I’m going to eat my words with this one. I had no idea

I fought Houston last year in Sioux City at Lewis Bowl.. I figured he would probably kill me but I dont mind getting my ass beat.. He knocked me out with a suplex in just over a minute… As far as him being a show boat or disrespectful, He is a really cool dude.. After he knocked my ass out he stopped over to my table and brought me a pitcher of beer that we shared and talked about the fight.. He is a stand up dude with a lot of talent and class!

Great strikes , but Jardine is medicore at best

Great strikes, nice one for the highlights show, but is Jardine really a contender? HA impressed but has a long way to go to be considered in the same league as Chuck, Rampage or Hollwood !

I did enjoy his celebrations , after all it is a contact sport and he was pumped up!!!

Jardine has skills he, he took out Forrest pretty good. There isn’t anyone who could have taken that punishment and stiil been standing, even Chuck got hit less than that by Rampage and he went down quicker. Most fighters would have probably been unconcious from that beating. Bottom line is when someone hits hard and they connect like that your going down, Chuck, Randy, Cro Cop it doesn’t matter (maybe not Mark Hunt).The only reason why I thought Chuck would lose against Rampage is because Rampage is able to take a lot more punishment before he goes down. look at the Silva fights and the knees and punches he took but when Chuck got beaten by Randy all it took was a few clean shots and that was it. Chuck is one of my favourite fighters, but I knew if he traded with Rampage he would come of worse, Rampage has the harder jaw.

this dude is just the jacked version of corey hill but good

Ade you hit it right on. Rampage also is just a better fighter technically.

What is all this BS about HA standing over is opponent? Who cares. First off, it isnt like that never happens. Two, it’s the guys first foray into the UFC, he was a little pumped to win. Three, Jardine did say some things that HA took offense to. You could tell at the weighins and at the prefight presser, that there was a little bad blood. Give the guy some credit. Plus, he exposed what most of us have thought all along, Jardine is a bit overrated. I was hoping for Machida/Jardine next so TDOMKJ could be truly tested. Oh, well. Now we know.

http://www.sherdog.com/videos/videos.asp?v_id=1179

HA’s interview on Sherdog. He confirms speculation that he’s had a lot more fights than Sherdog has him tallied for.

I could’nt agree with the two of you any more. This is exactly what HA needs to overcome before a bandwagon is officially established. David, if he can still dominate like you said then 205 just got a whole lot more dangerous overnight.

HA’s interview on Sherdog. He confirms speculation that he’s had a lot more fights than Sherdog has him tallied for.

I like him alot more after watching that interview. He seems like a really cool dude. Did he say that he walks around at 205?! Imagine him at 185 he would be a monster. at 205 though i say have him fight bisping.

Honestly I think this guy Houston Alexander was my cousin’s cell mate in prison. That guy straight up beat Keith “why am I fighting this guy ? oh yeah its because I caught Griffen with a lucky shot !” Jardine down like he was a 15 year old boy. He took it to him prison style like Jardine just tried taking his f-ing cornbread. Seriously though this guy Houston had arms like he has been doin “dips” for the last 3-7 years in Attica. One fight is one fight but damn this guy scares even Chuck Norris.

One fight is one fight but damn this guy scares even Chuck Norris.

SACRELIDGE!!!!!!! IMMEDIATE BAN!!!!! ;)

good knockout but very very unproffesional standing ovre someone when you should be making sure your opponents ok a classless fool shame on you mr.alexander…thats exactly what the sport doesn’t need you should publicly apologize and be fined 20% of his purse

If HA has any take down defense skills (ala Chuck Liddell)he would beat the hell out of all the guys CL beat before Rampage. That is a big if though. As far as standing over Jardine, i dont support that behavior but my man was excited because he knew he just made a name for himself. He was just pumped. Ill bet he doesnt do it again…He saw them $$$ signs…

i know he was excited but he needs an ass whoopin for the way he acted AFTER the KO. im not sure if there was bad blood or what but i hope HA gets that ass whooped in his next fight. during the fight though, OMG those uppercuts were Vicious!!!!

i agree 100 percent, me and my boy were talking about that today about how we both liked how he handled jardine, but then looked like an ass when he taunted him afterwards, not much class…

I fought Houston last year in Sioux City at Lewis Bowl.. I figured he would probably kill me but I dont mind getting my ass beat.. He knocked me out with a suplex in just over a minute… As far as him being a show boat or disrespectful, He is a really cool dude..

thats pretty cool, i like the buy you a beer after we fight attitude, thats classy, i take back the not much class comment, but still think he made himself look like an ass a little bit

i dont agree with standing over Jardine but what the hell, he just demolished a dude who was picked to do just that to him, hopefully that doesnt continue with his future wins

This guy Alexander was no joke. I’m going to eat my words with this one. I had no idea

And ladies and gentlemen,finally a real man who can admit he was wrong,much respect Stafo for the pride in your word to admit when your wrong.

Damn, so if HA can’t get wrapped up in the moment & taunt a downed opponent then nobody can, right? I wonder if any of you that feel that way are Tito Ortiz, Karo Parisian, Nick Diaz, Phil Baroni or Gomi fans to name a few. Maybe some of you feel the same way about an NFL Linebacker trash talking a QB after a sack or maybe an NBA player talking smack after pinning someones shot to the back-board or an MLB Catcher bad-mouthing the batter, I could go on & on here but I think you all get the point, lighten up.

getting excited and pumped up after a win is one thing, but standing over a man you just knocked out and yelling stupid shit is pointless, i’m all about endzone celebrations and shit talking, but you can’t do it right is someone’s face, not in the nfl, not in the nba, its called taunting, that will get you a technical foul or a 15 yard penalty, and i love tito ortiz and nick diaz and karo, but alexander looked like a badass knocking jardine out and then looked like an idiot afterwards…get hyped, jump up and down, do a damn back flip, whatever you want, just don’t get in the dude’s face you just knocked out and taunt his ass, it makes you look stupid, especially when there’s not really any bad blood between you and him, all i heard jardine say was he was upset he had to fight a guy the ufc fans didn’t know about, thats understandable because if he lost then he would have lost to a no name, there was no bad blood, alexander acted like an ass, even if for just a few seconds…

   well said, totally agree.

I would test homeboy for juice, he was to lit up.

I know Houston personally, and he does not take drugs – he simply wanted it more.

AND BKILLA HOW DID U KNOW ABOUT THE WESTMINISTER DOG SHOW ANYWAYS THATS A NEW ONE TOOME ,U KNOW MORE ABOUT IT THEN I DO ,HMMM PAMPERED YOUNG PUP U ARE EH?CALL ME SOMETIME I WILL COME TUCK U IN

You can’t compare an in-fight taunt by Couture to what this guy did to his unconsious defeated opponent. You guys make the analogies of the celebration of quarter backs and all that, thats fine, and a little celebrating is fine, that wasnt the problem, the guy looked like he was gonna throw another punch or something, HE is the one that needs to lighten up. I hope he does cuz he has legit potential, lets see him fight a couple more and see what he’s made of for real. No more push overs.

AND BKILLA HOW DID U KNOW ABOUT THE WESTMINISTER DOG SHOW ANYWAYS THATS A NEW ONE TOOME ,U KNOW MORE ABOUT IT THEN I DO ,HMMM PAMPERED YOUNG PUP U ARE EH?CALL ME SOMETIME I WILL COME TUCK U IN

What is this angry typing????I know about the dog show because I watch ESPN and because I’m fairly educated,but I’ve also been in a few fights and seen many,and shit happens.Certain room is left to certain fighters and under the curcumstances HA is free and clear of being labeled “classless”.And if you really want to “tuck me in” bring milk and cookies.Because us pampered kids love us some milk and cookies.

All in all,I defend him on his actions BUT I remeber a fight I was at in a friends corner,He was having a grudge match with another guy about some words they exchanged(totally personal fight at a legit fight promotion)anyways my friend was beat by “rear naked” and unconcious when this guy did pretty much the same thing HA did.We all reacted as friends defending our fallin’ buddy,Anyways the short of it is I understand what your saying but not that big of a deal,It was such a small part of the fight but what everyone remebers the most.Don’t judge him based entirely that.The thing is I’m sure Mick and Willy blasted him 10 times harder than anyone for that.

This was the one fight that really did surprise me. Not because I’m a Jardine fan, but I knew absolutely nothing about Houston Alexander.

Jardine was favored to win and the line proved that with a 4-1 payout for Houston. I’m offically “DONE” watching the “line” and from now on – other MMA Fighter’s Predictions will influence my betting!!! :)

I LOST big $$$$ on UFC 71 and I think if most people were honest – overall – they might have “picked” two of the the fights correctly. I didn’t pick a SINGLE fight right – not even one and I’m not ashamed to admit it (Yes, I picked Leben and bet AGAINST Karo too!!)

But, I did enjoy the fights and do think that the Best Man won in each fight. It’s only going to get more crazy from here for those of us who have not watched the overall MMA scene past just the UFC. I’ve got some serious “research” to do on the “new-to-me-talent” and the guys on this site are full of great knowledge. Thanks!

Afflicted, I gotta show you some love for this post & commend your honestly along with your humility. Thanks for being a real person here on the forums. MANY can learn from your example & if they do, then these forum discussions will immediately become whole lot more productive.

Dana should make this guy Chuck’s next fight. Then we could really see if he is an animal

It was a brutal fight, but like others here I dont like how he acted afterwards. Who cares if others have done the same, and Randy Spanked Tito, this means Houston can act like this? No, why not act better than others do?

Even Rashad Evans, who knocked out Sean Salmon, checked to see if he was ok. He still acted excited about his KO but he still has concern. These fighters are also supposed to be professionals. When you show you have concern, it shows the professionalism of these fighters. When Houston acted the way he did, the whole fight could have then looked better in an alley, not an octagon. If I want to see guys whoop each other and then act like idiots afterwards, ill save my $30 and just go to a bar after 1am.

Boy, people are not allowed to make any mistakes in MMA. Everyone jumps on them immediately without hesitation. He should have done this, he should’nt have done that….You all act like over-bearing parents. These guys are human beings with emotions just like you & I. If they make their 1st mistake lets give them the same courtesy we would prefer if it were us making the mistake & give them the benefit of the doubt. It’s the repeat offenders that deserve the judgement. What if this is HA’s 1st & last offense? What if he goes on to become the most dominating champ at 205? Would we all harp on this one thing or would we be singing his praises & bragging about how we were there for his UFC debut?

bkillr .good points and i agree for the most part after all adrenaline pumpin’im sure he wont be a dick again, from the posts he seems better as a person [then the minute of norman batesism made him out to be…]

Very true, people can make mistakes. It has nothing to do with the idea of jumping on him right off the bat, but people along with they’re mistakes also tend to do things again when they believe that it was well received.

No one is trying to get Alexander condemned, but we are the ones who pay and support these shows, it should be expected for some to express concern.

bkillr .good points and i agree for the most part after all adrenaline pumpin’im sure he wont be a dick again, from the posts he seems better as a person [then the minute of norman batesism made him out to be…]

 Norman Batesism?…good one.Anyways,I think we’ve all come to some understanding that it was a bad reaction to an overwhelming situation"15,000 fans were booing HA as he walked down to the ring,Taunting your a nobody calling him a hack.I know this because guys I know that train at Mick’s as well told me.And add that with Jardines comments before (pre-fight interview on ESPN)about training harder because he had to fight a “nobody,Easy payday for him” he said it in a context like it was someone else’s words,but we all got the jist.You can’t blame HA for being heated.But I understand how you feel if it’s just two more fighters to you up there.

Here’s a story I wanted to share earlier but thought fuck it.HA and some of the fighters from Mick’s and I were standing around the Tues. before the fight,talking about past fights and the one to come,nobody would even speak Jardines name.He left for a saecond and came back,talking about he should get some high heals and wear them in the ring to freak “this guy” out,it was’nt funny till he started shadow boxing pretending he was wearing high heals.Had 8 or 9 bad motherfuckers laughing there asses off.Point is,He was’nt hurting mad until he got to Vegas and heard all the Bullshit first hand.He IS a Proffesional and mabye the fans oughta check themselves from time to time.This is’nt the WWF.I hope Monty gets him a good fight and I hope he wins again.

Houston has always been a fighter and always has been a clean fighter. Houston has many years of experience and deserves the championship that he has rightfully earned, due to all the training he has done over the years. Houston is my friend from North Omaha, and we lived in the same neighborhood. He is a very nice and cool person. So coming from a back in the past fighter herself- Next time you hear and see the name Houston Alexander pertaining to a fight; You better recognize!

Do ya thang’ Houston!

Does anyone know what Houston Alexander’s walk out theme music was?

thanks

Does anyone know what Houston Alexander’s walk out theme music was?

thanks

Scrybe,of Omaha FT.D.Witt I think from Memphis now in Omaha,Song is called We Bring War,written for HA for the UFC 71 walk out.One of my exgirls is in a Scrybe video,dancin’ and being a hoe.Kinda funny whenever I see it,she was a good hoe.

Saying rampage is more technical than chuck. Ok for one when have you seen either fight try to summit someone. Chuck is a standup fighter who has a great wrestling backround and uses that in every fight. Rampage is more or less of a fighter who just likes to punch and slam the shit out of you. And says that he learned to fight on the streets. I guess you can learn alot on the streets.

When chuck comes back he will DESTROY EVRYONE WOW The Assasin is a animal

I was very impressed with HA’s demolition of Jardine but Jardine’s stand-up is average at best. HA has established his ability to recover from a punch & established that he has massive punching power but it takes more than that to reach the top. I really liked what I saw in him but HA will need to beat another Named fighter before I completely co-sign him.

Jardine is a VERY goog striker as displayed vs forrest Jardine has excellent kicks and he easily beat forrest, how many shots did griffin land in that fight. And forrest dominated tito ortiz on the feet, H.A NEVER got knocked down by jardine he slipped as
he stated after the fight. Houston Alexander DESTROYED JARDINE WHO DESTROYED FORREST WHO DOMINATED TITO, Imagine what HOUSTON COULD DO TO ORTIZ.

I wish it worked like this,but it doesn’t.I think he’s fighting again,ufc 75 against griffin or an englishmen with a 13-1 record,maybe Bisping?maybe he got the record wrong when I was told.But the other rumor about Manchester is shamrock vs. bisping,so who knows.I like HA vs. griffin.

Just wanted 2 post a comment about Houstons fight last night i’ve been a fan for a while now i use 2 watch this guy fight down at lewis bowl his fight last night was fuckin awsome he has showed everyone the power he has with anything he throws at you, i agree with what he said about belonging 2 the ufc he proved he belonged in the Jardine fight but this one just tops it all nice fight Houston lookin foward 2 seein you fight in the future.
peace

wow houston alexander next ufc champ this guy is for real

Anyone have any info on this?[/quote]
yeah houston has been fighting for over seven years taking on every single fighting style you can think of no one knows who he is because no one credits nebraska fights or iowa fights, and thats where he fought. houston has 3 different world champions training him, one is a world champion wrestler, one is a muai ty fighter, and one is a kickboxing champion. houston deffenetly knows what he is doing and how he is doing it, he just wanted to knock out jardine and sakara to say that he did, his ground game and wrestling is incredible he just avoids it and goes for the knockout to save his time and energy.houston does not do steroids he is just that ripped and all he does is train and work at his radio station work work work, then beat some ass

What do you mean “info”?That bout’ sums it up.It’s simple, people who hate on him are mad because he has so much else going on and still can win fights.He’s a fighter second to radio,football coach,Culture Shock Tour he promotes and a bunch of other shit.THEY TRAIN RELIGOUSLY AND GET DESTROYED.Theres something to be said about a natural fighter.I ain’t saying he’s the baddest but goddamn he deserves it.Although slightly imbelished the rest of what you posted is true.People around here hate on Mick and Curly A.Bob S.Monty and the rest of the the crew but where are theyI love Victory for the reason they’ve been doing this shit for a long time but most guys who hate on HA can’t even hang in the VFC.So fuck em’ all Houston.They claim Mick ain’t shit and has an ego but what have they doneSmall minded idiots.These are the same guys who start fights outside the MAC because they can’t do it in the ring.Other Omaha camps can hate but it will get them nowhere.I don’t get it.If anything he’s put you on the map and widened up a path for you.And damn he even threw up the Blackshirts for you freaky Husker fans in London so stop the hate and just enjoy what he’s done.If anything it doesn’t hurt you.
