Steve Bosse vs Houston Alexander: Retired Pro Hockey enforcer knockout video of UFC veteran

by Kevin Haggerty on Oct 9, 2011 6:30 AM EDT in International MMA News & Results

With Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) visiting "Space City" last night (Oct. 8, 2011) to put on UFC 136 for the fans at the Toyota Center, it's only fitting that there should be more "Houston" news in the mixed martial arts (MMA) world.

Former UFC light heavyweight Houston Alexander made his Instinct MMA debut over the weekend in Montreal, Canada. His opponent was former hockey "goon" Steve Bosse.

Alexander came into tonight's fight on a four-fight win streak and a heavy favorite. Unfortunately for Alexander, the betting odds don't mean a whole lot once the cage door shuts and the leather starts to fly.

The fight went almost two full rounds before the felling blow occurred. Check it out after the jump:

why did he break them at 13:33?

Terrible officiating.

Liddell: 'I'll fight anyone, Silva? Yeah sure, Quinton Jackson? Sure, Randy Couture? Sure'

Reporter: 'What about Fedor Emelianenko?'

Liddell: 'Well if I'll have to...I'll fight him...if I have to'

Really nice elbow strike

But ya, might have been softened by those elbow strikes to the back of the head on the ground.

Either way, Bosse looked like he could handle Houston.

What's holding Zuffa or Bellator from picking this guy up?

What’s holding Zuffa or at least Bellator from picking this guy up? He seems to have a good resume, 9 wins, 1 loss, and 1 no contest. The guy also has a name in the hockey community. That was a bad ass KO.
