Houston we have a problem...

God that sounds cheesy, oh well----
ok so if Houston loses this fight wich I think he will, should he have his contract cut. 3 losses in a row would seem to be the Dealth Penalty in the UFC. If he is cut do you see anyone else picking him up.....I like him but hey this is the big boys.

Good fu*king title .........

On the topic, not sure really, think the way he was able to run through what conventionally we think is solid, raised a lot of f*cking questions about whether traditional 'Stand Up' is the ultimate technique for fighting, or is every fighter just copying the best/title holders?

I see them giving him ONE MORE CHANCE even if he loses this next one. Who is he fighting again? Hopefully not a grappler or a one punch KO artist. He needs to win badly.

Read that Elite XC is looking to pick him up if he's cut so they can pit him against Kimbo.

Fighters who lose but lose in exciting Fashion don't get cut they just get paid less.

Damn...Eric Shaefer is no joke on the ground. That should be a good test for Houston.
