Alexander Houston vs Kimbo Slice
Kimbo Slice will battle at TUF 10 finale. Only not with anybody from the show. It was said to be reputed that Slice would take on the ponderous Houston Alexander. All things considered, Houston has affirmed the battle and it will occur live on Spike TV on December fifth.
I am an immense fanatic of Kimbo and an enthusiast of Houston Alexander so far as that is concerned. So for me, this ought to be an incredible, engaging battle to watch, except if Kimbo lemon as he did versus Roy “Enormous Country” Nelson.
On paper, this battle appears to be equitably coordinated. Neither one of the fighters likes to go on the ground and I’m not so much sure either warrior would comprehend what to do once they hit the ground. Everybody in America realizes that Kimbo has positively no ground game at all! In the majority of Alexander’s battles inside the octagon, I’ve once in a while observed him on the ground, except if you tally him getting KO’d by James Irvin and the arm-triangle accommodation Eric Schaffer put him in.
I see Kimbo turning out with the triumph despite the fact that Alexander is serious stuff by any means. Alexander could lay Kimbo unconscious, yet I think with the preparation Kimbo has been getting at ATT (American Top Team) he will be more than arranged to win in his Octagon debut. On the off chance that Kimbo loses, what does the UFC do? They’ve made a propensity for cutting warriors that lose and aren’t generally going anyplace in the UFC, however, would they do that with Kimbo? Or on the other hand, does the appraisals he acquires keep his activity secure?
I can’t see Kimbo getting discharged. He’s such a major name and Dana is tied in with profiting.
I am an immense enthusiast of Dana White and accept he is one of the most brilliant agents alive essentially on the grounds that he has taken MMA to spots individuals couldn’t envision 10 or so years back. However, Dana consistently scrutinized Elite XC for giving Kimbo adversaries who might stand and swing and not set out to take it to the ground. Isn’t that what Dana is doing with this battle?
I adore Kimbo and see him as an unassuming man attempting to bring home the bacon for his family, so I trust the UFC keeps him as long as he keeps on buckling down, gain ground, and keep his head straight and not embarrass the organization.

Alexander Houston Key and Peele
Back in May, Alexander let the two comedians take shots at his remarkable torso, Bloodsport-style until he pretended to almost want to punch them and they immediately verbally submitted. However, this is still a victory for comedy.

Also, it’s comforting to see these guys take advantage of the opportunity to hit a professional fighter because we all know that “you don’t win fights with that tip tap thing.
