I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with overnight UFC sensation, Houston Alexander yesterday. Just talking to Houston, you get the feeling that he feels blessed just to be in the situation that he’s in right now with the UFC.

I thought the same thing. If he hit the ground with the Boogyman he would be submitted in under 2 minutes

The UFC should sign Arona and throw him in there with houston. That'd test his ground game lol.

Great interview homie....
Anywho, I'm thinking Houston should fight at UFC 78, which is in desperate need of Nice match-ups. If Tito and Rashad match up, they should throw Houston against Dan Henderson, and if the Dan and TIto rumors are True, Throw Houston against Rashad. Either of those match-ups will REALLY Test Houston against a legit contender, and if he could pull off either of thos ematch ups, He'd be ready for a title shot IMO.

I can't wait to see Houston fight again. I hope whoever it is can last more than 2 minutes. I would love to see his ground game that he is selling!

I absolutely 100 percent agree with that statement. I would love to see that match-up. another good fight to see houston in would be griffin, a re-match with jardine or even throw lister in there if houston drops to MW or lister goes up.
