Media Houston Alexander Training the 10th Mountain Division

I had the great privilege to meet Houston Alexander a couple weeks ago.
He came to our post (Ft Polk) and trained some of our soldiers. Great guy. He impressed everyone with his humble demeanor and willingness to help the troops. It was a great experience and the troops loved it!

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.
 
That's pretty cool. Thanks for your service too!
 
Kimbo ended Houston Alexander's prime, but both guys left it all in the ring.

One of the funniest moments in mma the two decided to take 5 in the middle of the cage...

I don't know why this isn't a normal response.

He's not doing anything weird, outlandish, or acting like an attention whore and people are still shitting on him.

Oh well...

Everyone's a comedian I guess...
 
Man, he was a natural savage. Too bad the genetics deprived him of a gas tank.

Houston was a beast, looks like he has slimmed down too.
 
I dont really get what he could help a soldier with.

Regarding hand to hand its more about building morale and if you really think thats preparing you for real encounters soldiers who have experienced that make much much better advisers. Its in/out in seconds and more about using weapons and if not how to get them out.

Houston always was a very nice guy but also huge cardio free roid ball and that is the last thing you want as infantry.

So seems like a great time but very much doubt they learned much useful stuff.
 
Houston came across as a really nice dude, I thought. Single father to shitloads of kids, giving up a kidney or whatever, several jobs, solid guy.
 
He made it to the big stage of his profession and put on some fun fights. How many of us can say that?
 
Houston Alexander is for real!

That guy is violent!
-Mike Goldberg
 
it was the end of the round

I know just the visual of them both just resting in the same position not having the strength to walk back to their corners is what's so funny.
 
Dude was scary as fuck back in his day..Glad you had a good experience..
