did anyone check out his training on countdown the other night. i can't say i am a fan but if this guy would work with some top guys i think he could be one the top guys for along time. i would love to see him go up against rampage
-
we'll see this weekend, he fights some decent competition!
-
I'd like to see houston get punched so hard in the temple that his left eye actually pops out of its socket !
because he's black?!
-
He's a damn good fighter.
Lets see what he does against some good opponents.

I'm the last friend you have around here bud.....
don't alienate me !
i got 17 members in my crew team nasser that got my back!

i still say even if he wins this weekend he will have alot to prove.to me he will have to taken into the later rounds and taken to the ground to see just how well rounded he is.

Is that a internet group of guys your talking about.. Complete admitance of internet circle jerking.. :-X Your not the leader are you?
don't get your panties in a twist and start arguing bluto... just had to throw it out there now back on SUBJECT!!!!!!!!!
No way is he unstoppable. How many people said that about Chack... Same with Crocop, everyone is beatable. I hope that's not what you were asking. I would almost gurantee that Houston will lose soon. There are tons of parts to his game we haven't seen yet nor have we seen them tried. Time will tell but something tells me he might be a turtle on his back.....
Disclaimer: I didn;t see the guy train. He might work ground game hella tough. But I still see him getting beat.

Alexander will be tested by Silva. Silva is a savy striker, with sick ground skills. If Silva is smart, he takes it to the ground and not give Houston a chance to KO him.

i hope it is a good fight because the card is weak. i am going to watch it for free though :D

I think Houston is going to kick Silva's ass, even if it goes to the ground. I have a feeling his ground game is really good, and with his strength I think he twist guys up really good.
-
everybodys stoppable!

Apparently not. Silva by brutal KO.
PS. SPOILER!!!

Goes to show you again that anything can happen in an mma fight these days.

Better re-evaluate

Why re-evaluate? I am sure you have predicted every fight in the UFC to be the way you think it ends. No? It's like I said goes to show you anything can happen.

houston played it to safe. he was to timid. he should have went out and attacked. that is his best strength. now he needs to learn the ground game

Houston is a guy with some decent hand skills and that's it. That's been enough to carry him a little bit because as we all know the standup in UFC is pretty weak. He's by no means elite though. Skill-wise he's like Rampage without a ground game.

I saw this coming all along, like I said, Silva's strengths nullify Houstons. Thiago actually looked alot bigger than Houston as well. He is a durable fighter and proved to be a smart fighter as well. Instead of foolishly slugging it out, he used his footwork to stay outside, and once Houston charged in he didn't give him any space to get off, it's funny that Houston shot in on him, and it ended up costing him the fight. Good win for Silva.

thiago didnt look a lot bigger. but he's taller.
houston fucked up by seeking the clinch and by putting himself on the ground. silvia didnt do shit other than mount him and gnp. pretty much any fighter could've done that.
silva has a TERRIBLE fight record and this fight didnt gave us any idea whatsoever of his possible skills.

Than why hasn't any other fighter done that? because they get bum rushed, clinched and mauled, he couldn't do that here so he resorted to a takedown rather than eat knees from someone who actually has a base knowledge of the clinch. You and your records, in Chuteboxe academy there is no such thing as light sparring, they have full out wars, when you train with that many good guys on that level, on a daily basis that helps immensely and fight records can be decieving. Weve had what? 3 or 4 pickems already? and you have consistantly shown that you suck at correctly predicting the outcome of fights. Not just one (like the one that you tried to compare yourself to Randy on) there has been at least three. I'm sure if you check up on Randy's predictions record for tha last couple shows he did a hell of alot better than you. That's why you're opinion on fights dosen't hold much water on here, becuase you are rarely right.

any other fighter? you make it sound like he fought a who's who in mma. guy had a couple of fights. you think jardine would fight him the same he did first time and that in order to change his gameplan he need to go to chuteboxe? ::)
full out wars, sounds good - if youre looking for an injury! you need to lay off this obsession with chuteboxe... first of all, there's plenty of good camps out there... second of all, the time you picked chuteboxe with wand etc thats like picking the winning team in football and cheer because everybody wanna be with the winner... :-\ in soccer guys that do that are despised and not real fans.
as for pickems, it aint hard to get 50-60% right, if you wanna play it safe, go with rashad over bisping, and just take the INTERNET seriously... to be good and have bragging rights, you need to be in the top 70-80% show after show, then we're talking... so far the only guy that's even close is K-1 and he's pretty cool about it and never boasted about being an EXPERT, unlike some people i know... ;)
