Houston Alexander Rescues Child
« on: May 13, 2009, 06:12:06 AM »
This is a day old but it deserves a nod.  It's always nice to see a positive story about a fighter make the news and not a high speed chase or whatever.  From WWOT:

An Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight from Omaha discovered a child left alone in an unlocked car, and sprang into action. Houston Alexander, a mixed martial artist stayed with the girl until she was safe.

...

He took the girl into a nearby dialysis center, but no one there knew who she was. Alexander then took the girl into the plasma center next door.

The girl's mother was there, giving plasma. She told officers her cousin should have been watching the little girl.

The thing about Houston is that I've heard so many people say SO many good things about him.  We all know the stories about what he did for his kid, but I've always seen him talked about as a guy who gives plenty of time to the fans, especially kids.  It's probably the biggest reason I'd like to see him get a few tailor made fights and wins in the UFC.  I'd be hard pressed to name someone I want to see succeed more than Houston Alexander.

He seems like a really great guy,  It's too bad his grappling is so poor.
