    Kimbo Slice Vs Houston Alexander

  • 5 years ago

    I think Kimbo really has a good chance of beating him. The only thing about Kimbo and his fight against Roy Nelson was that Roy was able to get all his beef on Kimbo and he could not move him. But at a lighter weight that wouldnt be a problem but giving him Houston Alexander is not an easy first fight. Houston Alexander's ground game isnt the best so it'll probably be kept standing which will be good for Kimbo. Im saying Kimbo Slice-Round 2-TKO-2 minutes into the fight

    Houston Alexander had no business in the ring with Kimbo Slice, sure there was a slime chance of Alexander landing a lucky punch like Seth P. got on Kimbo, but highly unlikely.

    Kimbo is / was a much bigger guy then Houston Alexander.

    It is like putting Greaser st. Pierre in with Brock Lesnar, not a fair or good match up because of the size, and strength difference.

    Was that fight fixed? No. But not in favor of Houston Alexander either. That was for Kimbo hopefully to look good against a much smaller big named opponent.

    No, if it had been a fix, they would have had to pay Houston Alexander a couple of million dollars. Which the UFC will never do. Or threaten to kill him like the mafia. The UFC will not do that either.

    He was not about to give up his entire careeer so that Kimbo would make waves with the UFC. If he did he is a very stupid man.

    No. Fixed fights are a lot more exciting than that. You've got two guys with limited skill sets, neither known for their cardio, and both having been knocked out in recent fights. I honestly expected Alexander to explode and overwhelm Kimbo within the first minute, but since they both played a tentative game, gassing out became a foregone conclusion.

    No, the UFC is not fixed. They wouldn't be able to fix it with that many athletic commission officials looking over their shoulder.

    I doubt that it was fixed.

    Granted Houston did not engage and put on a terrible fight. But you have to remember that the fighters have emotions just like we do. I am sure he felt the pressure and fear. It got to him.

    Its not like he had anything to bring to that fight anyways.

    I do think Shamrock VS Franklin was a fix or in some way thrown... The UFC may not have been directly involved.

    It wasnt fixd, houston knew that kimbo had a bad knee and had KO power so he danced around and threw leg kicks, now Houston is out of the UFC because of that fight

    Huston Alexander succcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccks i think he just got lucky in beating Jardine! but not that he lost to a loser like slice,well is UFC career is over,that is like griffin losing to a street braweller! that fight if you can call it that is so boring!kimbo will get knocked out worse than bisbing when he fights a randy couture or congo!

    Seriously?

    Don't you think if the UFC wanted to fix that fight they might have made it a little bit more interesting. Do you think Alexander would have agreed to it knowing it would pretty much ruin his career.

    No, it wasn't fixed.
