I only watched this fight of him
I liked wands KO of Jardine better. Held his throat and punched his face.Hey it lasted longer than the machida era lol
No joke, the ko of Jardine is still to this day one of the best ones ever.

Irvin was a knockout artist and I believe Houston didn't want to be that dude to knocked out by kimbo in the ufcHey Houston!

The mere fact that he got stiffened by Irwin is shameful enough. Kimbo (all due respect to him) didn't belong in the UFC. Houston came into the fight in terrible shape and losing that fight warrants ridicule.
I was pissed about the sokoudjou fight. I thought sokoudjou had Houston out but the ref stunk In that fight. Also, that era of ufc was the shit. Watching guys like Houston and terry Martin scrap was entertaining.I'm guessing he's talking about Jardine and Sakara, which I'd say was a very solid win, but other than those you could maybe include the Soko win from later in his career, although from what I remember Houston used quite a few head butts in that one.
Damn seeing the Jardine ko gif and that Sandman post ko gif have got me feeling all nostalgic lol maybe it's just because I was younger but I used to be so much more excited about the UFC.
That fight definitely deserves ridicule in regards to both parties lack of cardio and inability to perform their job. I'm just saying that a LHW losing to a HW with an identical skillset is not reason enough to criticize, so it's unwarranted to reference him losing to Kimbo.Hey Houston!

Yes, he choke slammed several people, iirc.houston was the fuckin man. he light lifted jardine off the matt with that punch. I also feel like i remember him almost picking somebody up by the throat. dude was hella powerful and always brought excitement. until the kimbo fight which was the weirdest thing ive ever seen
It makes complete sense. TS was saying Houston deserves respect and more adulation. I'm saying he was average at best. If he deserves adulation then you might as well call every fighter that has fought in the UFC a legend. They deserve respect for getting in there and fighting but Houston...no good.Posts like this make no sense whatsoever. Irvin isn't a former champ, and neither is Alexander. Ok. That doesn't make either of them scrubs, as you're clearly implying. Irvin also owns two of the coolest walk off knockouts in UFC history.
Not saying that he was a legend. But he was a draw for ratings back thenIt makes complete sense. TS was saying Houston deserves respect and more adulation. I'm saying he was average at best.

I believe h didn't want to be a ko reel for kimbo so he fought safeThat fight definitely deserves ridicule in regards to both parties lack of cardio and inability to perform their job.

If you had said that he put on a shit performance due to his cardio in the Kimbo fight and left it at that, i would agree.
Losing to Kimbo is not reason enough to bash though. Likewise for Irvin. A power striker with no other game getting KO'd by another power striker with no other game isn't shameful. Irvin was crafty as fuck when he was on.
