I was glad to see Alexander get taken out in the first round. I ended up going 6-3, never expected to see Fisher go down so easily. All-in-all this was a pretty disapointing card IMO. Edgar did his thing, congrats to him. Herman got his first KO and I was glad to see him do it. J-Lau got yet another 1st round W, so will UFC finally give him someone worth fighting?

I've been watching the Silva vs Alexander fight over and over... And although I was extremely dissapointed at first in Houston for losing.... now that I think about it I think he still showed a lot of heart and also that he belongs in the UFC.
If you think about it.. Everyone has been questioning Alexander's ground game, Almost Everyone... He must of had a lot of pressure on his chest to prove that he has ground game... thats why if you look right after Silva threw a kick Alexander goes for the Takedown and get it..... but silva reverses and controls from than on...
I think Alexander game plan was changed simply because he felt like he had something to prove... He tried to get the BJJ black belt on the ground.. but things didn't go as planned.... Houston tried throwing Silva's weight to get a better position, but the undefeated BJJ ground game really showed...
Houston tried hangin on for as long as he could, but 9 to 10 unanswered punches made him unable to cling or hold any more... after that silva reigned down a few more punches and this fight was over....
IMO if houston hadn't had the mindset that he needed to prove something.... than he could've kept this fight standing up.. and quite possible could've one this fight...
Thiago Silva isn't a no body.. he trains out of one of the best training camps from Brazil.... And I think that houston Has a great chance of winning, if these two get a rematch...
at the end of the fight you can tell Houston was pissed..... they said he got knocked unconcious but it must have been for a short period of time, because he got his ass right back up.. and now you hear about him being back in the gym to training....
I say good try Houston..... You got a lot of Heart... keep training ground.... And come back and submit that BJJ fighter to prove everybody wrong....
You may have lost some fans who are really haters... but your real fans... will back u up till the end... We just wanna see you make a comeback!
