You guys remember...HOUSTON ALEXANDER IS FOR REAL!!!!!

[Apocalypse604]

....Thats what this reminds me of except Conor is getting 10 times the push from the UFC.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

I remember Houston Alexander had a 5-win streak in the UFC for four dominant finishes, and a dominant decision where he claimed a 10-8 round and earned a title shot!


Oh wait...

 

[stevenseagle]

[Scuba]

Except that Conor has beaten more, better competition and doesn't have 4 straight losses in the UFC.

The comeback KO win over Jardine was great though.

 

[Scuba]

He lost.

oh well unfortunate

goes to show post count and join date doesn't matter when you're a complete moron

no it isnt the same. dana is teaching every one has to successfully talk with their mouth full

I remember waiting for Houston to be exposed. I knew he was a one-dimensional fighter, and even that one dimension wasn't too strong. I knew thiago, Irvin, and specifically, red Schafer would all destroy him. I also knew kimbo was probably more well-rounded, too. having said that, he was still a very capable brawler. regardless of luck or favorable matchups, he had two big wins over jardine and sakara. keith jardine had just taken out forrest too, so it was a big fight for a debut.

conor is CLEARLY legit. Poirier, siver, max, brandao, and brimage.....

 

[JDB]

Houston's technique was swinging for the fences until either he or his opponent hit the canvas like a ragdoll, the guy had limited prospects from the get go.

Conor has style.

 

[Nelly]

He didn't last as long as Conor has. Plus Conor has beaten top 10 fighters.

 

[bigearv14]

People were saying that after one punch...not the same.

Eh?

 

[frandie2b]

Conor haters don't even know what to say anymore.

 

[bigearv14]

Eh?

Houston landed one punch on Jardine that had everyone freaking out. It wasn't a dominant streak against quality opponents...he had two quick wins in a row, but a comparison to McGregor is way off here.

Comeback? the fight was 48 seconds of ass kicking by Houston.

Damn new fans.
