Exclusive: Kimbo Slice vs. Houston Alexander possible for UFC 107
A slugfest between Kimbo Slice and Houston Alexander is looking like a strong possibility for UFC 107.
A source close to the situation advised FiveOuncesofPain.com today that although no bout agreements have been sent, at least one of the fighters has been formally approached about the possibility of the bout.
UFC 107 is scheduled for December 12 from Memphis, Tennessee, and will feature a headlining lightweight championship bout between B.J. Penn and Diego Sanchez.
Kimbo would be coming off of the heels of his appearance on “The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights“, and his recent TUF 10 loss at the hands (and moon-sized belly) of Roy “Big Country” Nelson. Prior to his stint at the TUF house Kimbo suffered a lightning quick TKO defeat to Seth Petruzelli after racking up wins over guys like Tank Abbott and James “Colossus” Thompson.
Alexander recently bounced back into the winners circle with a first round TKO over Sherman Pendergarst during Adrenaline IV in September, following three consecutive defeats with the UFC.
A bout between the two heavy handed knockout artists at UFC 107 would go a long way in filling the void left by the scratching of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson vs. Rashad Evans due to Rampage’s current involvement as B.A. Baracus on the upcoming A-Team remake.

Vogairian BJ vs Diego are the Mainevent. you can still have a co-headliner like dos santos vs cro cop were a co-headliner.
I was thinking the same thing as well but caught myself

Its just a shame that you see this fight get made, and you KNOW the UFC will put it on the main card(maybe even some type of headline status). Then on the other hand you have fighters like Okami and Fitch who have to fight 4 or 5 times just to get on the main card.
Well-Done.

And we’ve seen both of these guys get KO’s of their own rather quickly..
I would pick Houston just for his knees and raw power.. But his chin is just way too sketchy..
I actually think this may be a tossup
Well-Done.

Should be exciting for the two minutes or less that it lasts. I’m thinking it will be a catchweight though, maybe 210 or 215?

I bet Kimbo looks funny without his beard…I bet he has a tiny head thats why he has to have a huge beard to keep it proportionate. I would put a stiputlation on it for kimbo…if he losses than Alexander gets to shave his beard. Make it happen Dana!!!

Houston may not have shown much wrestling, but he considers himself to be a wrestler and a muy thai fighter. Check out his home page. Besides, Houston doesn’t have to be a great wrestler to shoot in on Kimbo for a double or a single leg. And once Kimbo’s on his back, he doesn’t seem to have the skills to get back up.

Some of these comments are hilarious and some are accurate. I would love to see a stand up war between these two guys. I almost know someone is getting knocked the fuck out!!!! They should toss them in a backyard somewhere! I want Kimbo to win for some strange reason. But Alexander should prove to be the better fighter. Even though he got knocked out with one punch by a guy known for his submissions. He is lacking the gut of big country though. That boy put the BELLY on Kimbo. That was funny!
I say Houston wins with ground and pound on a private wooden fence in Kimbo’s backyard.

Are you kidding? Fights like this are a matchmakers dream. Takes no genius at all to schedule this obvious match up between to guys who like to throw hands, have a cult following, and a clear disdain for the ground game.
Yes it’s a shame fans are gonna get treated to a likely slugfest between two guys who want to bang as opposed to a couple of fighters who are capable of putting an audience to sleep.
It’s not all about records as Andrest’s piece pointed out nicely.

…you guys are missing something, & I think it will be the knockout weapon for Houston… he has a WICKED clinch with knees…. he’s devastating & ungodly powerful & explosive here. I believe there will be punches thrown, & then Houston will get the clinch against the cage, & knee Kimbo into a coma.
