PBF, you wanted to know when Houston Alexander was fighting next, well he's fighting tomorrow (or today depending on when you read this). He is going against another guy who prefers to bang it out on the feet rather than grapple. Should be interesting. Someone is getting KTFO.

Also, last time you watched an event PBF, you said you liked Kurt Pellegrino's boxing, and thought he did a good job. Well he too is fighting on this card, and against Nate Diaz the guy you hated last event.

On top of that, your boy Din Thomas is fighting tomorrow too, and he is the one that annoyed you when he called out Mayweather that one day.

So it appears tomorrow you know quite a few of the fighters. It's live and free, and should be starting at 7:00 PM EST.

Here is the card:

I'm actually looking forward to watching Alexander fight and mostly Lauzon. That guys a geek and someone you would probably laugh at in a bar but the guy can flat out fight.

[SugarShane]

Houston Alexander TKO1.

Houston Alexander TKO1.

Hah you might be right about that. And I got Lauzon by submission in the 1st. Anyone wanna bet?

If Lauzon beats Florian (and I hope he does) I say it will be with strikes not a sub like against Pulver

 

[Matty The Ghost]

Eh I dont know man. He's been training hardcore with Penn so I think he might try out those skills. I would love to see him knock Florian's ass out though.

Florian is also BJJ Black Belt, I think Joe will take him down and - as the boxing fans love to make fun of. Ground and Pound Ken out.

SHould be a good fight though

 

[Matty The Ghost]

Haha boy could we have been more wrong... About all of them? Regardless it was a pretty good night of fights. That first KO was brutal. Alexander was out for a second no doubt about that.

Some gifs of last night:

Alves vs Parisyan

Houston vs Irvin

Diaz vs Pellegrino

Johnson vs Speer

Houston's KO is an example of how diverse your defense needs to be. Irvin's technique was sweet. He raises his leg like he's going to kick, making Houston prepare his defense for the leg, only it's a feint and he throws a serious right that lands on the chin. Totaly unexpected and totally awesome. :thumbsup:

 

[Matty The Ghost]

Again what a night of fights. Pretty entertaining stuff.

Oh I thought that was a half assed SuperMan punch. Either was it worked.

 

[SugarShane]

Well I liked 2 of the fights last night. The Houston Alexander fight and the Pellegrino fight were both ok. I had it recording so I was able to fast forward through all of the other fights during all the time where I could tell they were on the ground. Alexander just barely got grazed. I can't believe it did that much damage.

 

[TysonJones]

Shows you how diverse your defense has to be? I think thats another way of saying those guys dont have a defense. ALexander got ktfo'ed.

Man i love Nate Diaz he always gets the job done!! it doesnt matter how much u beat on he kid hes gonna catch you in a sub, its just a matter of time and i loved how he just knew he had won when he locked the riangle in he started to celebrate as soon as he locked it in Lets hope he doesnt get stupid like his brother and ruin his career.

Biggest suprise for me was that Maynard won Edgar, imo Edgar is way too small for the 155 division and Maynard is almost too big ^^ i honestly think Maynard could outwrestle Sherk, but overall a very entertaining night.

No doubt. Hes the cockiest mother in the world but your right he gets the job done every time. I thought his brother wasn't allowed to be ringside but he was there last night. Guess Dana forgave him. His brother was a straight badass too.

Alexander reminds me of a fastball pitcher with only one pitch, once people figure him out he's in trouble.

I think he's at that point now where enough people know what he's about. Rushing in and throwing bombs, and he got beat on that.

Time to start using some leg kicks and wrestling Houston, this is MMA not "ultimate boxing."

Florian .. Since TUF I keep thinking he'll lose but he doesn't. Damn impressive.

Diaz is the quintessential BJJ MMA fighter, no matter what just keeps going for submission after submission after submission. Damn!
