No doubt, the dude has serious power on the inside, but thats the only place he seems to have it. He would get pick off by guys who don't have ko power but are good at sticking and moving. Examples: Forest and Machida

I think he has a chance to KO anyone at anytime. I know his ground game isnt great, but if he continues to bum rush his opponents and forces the pressure on them right off the bat he will keep knocking them out one by one because I dont think anyone is going to be able to stand and slug it out with him.

He beat two guys that arent even top 20, and disposed of them quickly. He needs some real competition.

According to his camp, houston needs to win two more fights and he is promised a title shot. I say Bisping, then Tito. Ahhhhhhh......

Check midwestfighter.com for an exclusive interview real soon....

Seriously, I don't feel Jardine and Sakura are top tier talent. So the jury is still out on Alexander. At least he was a little more humble in victory this time, lol. I would definitely venture to say that it might be a mistake to stand and trade inside with Alexander. Dude got some hard knees and uppercuts. Lol, is it me or do you envision Damon Wayons doing his Tyson impersonation watching Houston fight, lol.

Jardine almost beheaded him in their fight...man

People are jumping on this guys bandwagon like never before...fuck...He beat two B level fighters (not to take anything away from them, but they weren't even close to top 10) and people say he's in the top 10 rofl...you have to beat someone important or of value to be in top 10 and he hasnt' done so.

Houston vs anyone who knows how to implement a good gameplan = the end of his bandwagon.
