Dana White said Houston is gonna be kicked out of the UFC. I dont blame him, Houston had two KOs at the start of his career... but then got KOed 4 times in a row including being KOed by James Irvin in 8 seconds of round 1, followed by a dissopointing show he put on. If it werent for the cage he would have practically ran from Kimbo. Kimbo inpressed me in round 2 but not in round 1 or 3. Kimbo needs better conditioning like Randy Couture did early in his career. He also should inprove his submission skills.

houston had an ok strategy for a long fight more than 3 rounds u dont move around and wear people down on a exhibition match...thats for a title fight where it counts....jumping in circles didnt do nuttin but piss people off and dissappoint the sponsors there should have been action u mean to tell me alexander isnt faster then kimbo? he couldnt throw in a combination and jump out? in out in out? that would have worn down kimbo to i bet hmmmm.........kimbo does have size and strength but technique? NO houston has technique he just needs a better one

i doubt the fight was fixed, besides kimbo is a good fighter it's just his ground game needs to improve and it still needs a lot of work. you can't really blame him for the fight, it wasn't his fault houston was being hesitant. also, kimbo weighs like 230-240ish and houston is a light heavyweight fighter, weighing anywhere from 205-215, kimbo had size, and strength advantage on him. i bet anybody who's trying not to get knocked out from one kimbo's punches would circle him, it's just common sense. yeah, it was boring, but he had a gameplan that he thought would wear down at kimbo and it didn't work. it's not like this is the first time houston has done something similar to this, watch the fight with houston and sherman pendergarst. he did leg kicks and it worked against pendergarst and then houston finished the fight. don't hate on kimbo, he needs to drop down to light heavy weight and fight there.

This fight was fixed. Houston's "Game Plan" that the announcers were describing was ridiculous no fighter would circle around the ring for a full minute if he wasn't trying to stage it. Houston is a good fighter and was probably getting shit from Mr.White most likely "hey we like Kimbo he's popular we need him to win." the popularity of the UFC was good enough they do not need KIMBO! o and Houston was "let go" soon after this fight i just dont believe it.

Fixed fight no doubt ,the credibility of the UFC is on risk,Kimbo sucks and they want to make him a great fighter anyhow
|
stop hatin on kimbo.so what if he didnt make much progress in the other mma brands. he didnt need to. but look how much he improved since the nelson fight on tuf. it wasnt his fault that houston wanted to run track instead of fight. when he got his chances he punished houston. great fight for kimbo. he got the big W and houston took an L
|
This was a absolutely horrible fight. Normally I ignore all the talk of fixed fights but after seeing this fiasco its hard to ignore. How can someone who is usually a very aggresive fighter in Houston just circle and throw sissy leg kicks? Kimbo was no better AKA has some serious work to do with him if he is ever going to be a crediable fighter. This fight ranks up there with Starnes vs Quarry, and Lutter vs Eastman(first round only).

BAD FIGHT .......They have no stamina !!!!!!! Really, it was a bad fight !!!
|
kalib starnes runs marathon in ring---->gone, alexander, the same thing----->should be gone.....this is an octagon not a racetrack
|
OFFICIAL: Houston to be cut from the UFC indefinitely because of this showing. This was his last chance to impress the org. and he DID NOT. Dana voiced his anger in saying "I dont even want to talk to Houston right now."
Could have been an epic boxing match. Kimbo wanted it. Houston was just trying not to lose and gave one of the most PATHETIC performances ive ever seen on a main card fight. For shame, Houston, for shame.
