houston is another case of dont judge a book by its cover coz everytime i hear him in a interview hes always real respectful of other fighters by looking at him u wouldnt think he is
haha, funny you say that, Tito Ortiz got a draw with the current UFC light heavyweight champion, Rashad Evans, he also beat Forrest Griffin, former UFC light heavyweight champion. I'm sure right now, Dana White is regreting letting go of Oritito. And Sokoudjou well, he's a good fighter, he's still a growing in the sport, sure he's had some tough losses, but they'll only make him better. I still wish the UFC would've set up Sokoudjou vs Alexander before letting him go.
agreed, sokoudju vs alexander would have been fun to watch, but comparing rashad evans to what he was then is almost irrelavent, all he did was wrestle, and thats all tito ortiz basically did
as for griffin, that was an extremely controversial decision and my vote went with griffin but in all fairness its his own fault seeing as though he goes for judges decisions rather than stoppages
While I agree to a certain extent, I also disagree with you... Evans had a couple of highlight reel KO's in the UFC prior to fighting Ortiz. In my opinion he did slightly beat Forrest who defeated Rampage, and yes I do believe he beat Rampage, too. I also had Franklin winning the fight against Hendo, but I'm not a judge, so that's beside the point. But yes, in this sport anything can and usually does happen, unfortunately.
How is the interviewer not acting professional? Houston may not have felt his "flow" as you put it but Houston surely felt Thaigo put on a massive ass beating.
I remember when DR. STEEL HAMMER VLad "the impaler" "DRAGO" Klitscho lost a couple fights, especially to Corrie Sanders...that was a bad quick loss. All the announcers are saying "Yup, Vladimir should retire now." Now, they're eating their words. Anyone can get KO'd, even ROY JONES, LENNOX LEWIS, TYSON, MAYWEATHER WILL GET HIS...it's how they come back.
Houston is really not a bad guy. He really doesn't seem to talk a bunch of shit. But man, that ground game....WEAK....I realize Thiago is a black belt so it's not a surprise he got outclassed, but he just showed no signs, whatsoever, that he had a clue what to do on the ground.
Silva capitalised on a mistake HOUSTON made... Trying to hold him in the position he was in was daft considering tiagos size... The obv portrayed houstons lack of ground skill... but if it stayed stand up silva would have suffered the same fate sakara and jardine did, Houston will own tht division soon enough, Hes headed for great success.
Grabbing someones head and bashing it with your fist doesn't count as standup. Houston only won his fights with Jardine and Sakara because he was powerful in the clinch. He fights like a 205 pound version of Bob Sapp...
Alexander sucks? Right I guess when you punish everyone thats put in front of you in the 1st round means you suck. Eat a dick shottah you would piss down your leg before you got into the ring with him. You better just stay in your own fight class like beating defenseless old ladies. Oh and quit molesting your sister!
hey chill out buddy!!its obvios you have a man crush on houstin,try not to get too worked up when people put him down its gonna happen alot becouse he really does SUCK BALLS!!!! LOL
he hasnt really showed any skills on the ground, and very little techinque standing. all he has is tremendous strenght and mental preperation... but you got to admit, when thiago got him to the ground, he got mounted pretty easly and punded out pretty quick. i think that fight with jardine was pure luck, but the alessio fight i wont take away from him. he threw some nice knees:-) ...dont go all "angry german kid" on me now...
His grappling is a little weak, but his stand up kills and if he becomes more well rounded he could do well. I really hope he does cause he's a nice guy and he gave a freaking kidney to his daughter, you have to respect that.
A lot of guys have incredible stiking with a shity ground game like Luke Cummo, Patrick Cote, Alessio Sakara etc, I dout any of them will ever be ranked in the top of the division.
Alexander is a the fucking man! Never have been a fan until after hearing this and how professional he is. No bullshit, know what I'm sayings, or badass approach. About fucking time!
Besides the totally obvious statement I'm sure Houston would agree with this comment more than anyone.How do you lose to a guy you just slammed by his throat???Ground game.He'll learn from it and come back stronger.He's gotta hurry though.
It was only a matter of time. He surpised Jardine and Sakara looked almost fixed. There are thousands of gym rats out there, it doesnt mean you can fight in the UFC. Houston is a tough guy but he is 35 and by the time he learns the ground game maybe 37/38. His 15 minutes may be up.
number 1.....he loses to a great fighter like thiago silva, and all of a sudden hes finished?....fuck no.....also, any guy that is willing to give one of his kidneys to his daughter is a good guy in my book....u could have called his victory over jardine a fluke, but his domination of sakara was no joke....thiago silva is just a fuckin animal
All fighters lose eventually especially in the UFC. It doesnt mean all that which you said basstop. Silva was the better man that night. Houston is still great, but give him a chance to overcome this lost before you should say those things.
Would you say Shogun is fools gold because he lost?
I'm still backing him for sure.You gotta admit bassstop and all you other haters he brought a little excitement to the ring momentarily that has been lacking lately.Why sound so against HA??I don't get it,he's good for the sport and he'll be back.
I see houston as a favorite, this guy will not stand with HOUSTON (tiago) he will run and try to make houston make a mistake (miss)and thiago will go for a takedown.. if he gets past a nasty knee first..
I will go against my thinking and say thiago in 3...??? if he stays away from that power and gives houston something to think about.. maybe the fight is his.. but i like my man HOUSTON i love when he rocked jardine those upper were SWEEEEET!
yeah he gave props to nebraskas football team which WAS sucking till they drummed K state scoring over 79 points, they just need a defensive coordinator go HOUSTON!!
i think his 2 ko's where flukes i dnt rate him we havn't seen enuff off him not seen him go passed 1st round or wat his ground game is like mayb thiago can answer that or mayb houston is just a pure power puncha n will bag any1 out......
Typical hater. Houston is a hardworking, talented and fun guy. I dont know what makes you think you have to right to say he sucks but maybe you should quit being so judgemental
