UFC Debut: Kimbo Slice vs Houston Alexander | Free Fight

all right guys you've been over your instructions I expect a clean fight but maybe my commands all times defend yourselves all times step back to your corners let's do this no kidding let's do this man you know akimbo said when asked about his opponent Houston Alexander he said Houston you're gonna have a problem Kimbo Slice Houston Alexander [Applause] you sit outside Kimbo in the center interesting Houston Alexander using his footwork is circling Kimbo Slice we saw in the show is being a little bit worn out in Houston Alexander told me a couple of days ago he's going to target with some leg kicks and he looked for it right they're gonna try to chop down Kimbo early interesting seeing Houston server like this this is a first I think you know maybe he thought that Kimbo probably expected him to come charging right at him and so he's shown him some different looks Houston Alexander said I'm not a hater of Kimbo Slice I've been where he is I had to strengthen my game become more versatile and Kimbo has shown a commitment to do so we've also said first punch might be the last punch of this fight this is just an weird now this is like over a minute of just spinning around in a circle well Kimbo will be very wise not to get drawn in to throw in an ugly punch and walking into Houston though sooner or later they'll engage Rosenthal push him I thought the fight would have been over by now we would have been through four replays from five different angles you can see he wants to kick does Houston Alexander slice told on the show that had some arthritis and that knee and again he's just trying to pepper the inside legs is a little bit get his attention he's got to be careful there then he doesn't run into a counter right hand when he does that Mike when he throws that kick his head is straight up in the air there it is again Alexander is doing exactly what he told me he was going to do Joe this is the game plan [Applause] Kimbo saying let's do this Kimbo training in American Top Team Omaha Nebraska zone Houston Alexander kamo starting to take a little bit of space away gel that was a good one then hand leg kick there yep second when he pulled back when he throws that kicked those hands better stay up as you talked about that chin better be tucked yeah see how he's throwing there I was trapped in here this head is straight up in the air Kimball hasn't thrown anything though I mean we're three minutes in this fight Kimball hasn't thrown anything - oh boy here we go boys officially underway walk lead swinging [Applause] [Applause] again with that termination nice rubric redhead with a by Alexander looking for some needs he rolled under that last one Manny's working that front leg over and over again though he's definitely sticking to his game plan [Applause] throwing elbow when he comes in corner of Kimbo Slice and again with that inside leg kick Kimbo stuck around the house and he just absorbed all the great training throughout the competition member of team rampage eliminated early by big country who will fight in the heavyweight final later tonight [Applause] Houston one Lionel he told me what he's gonna do Joe feels like that leg may be a bit fragile and he continues to work on it he's throwing them all from the front leg dump Mike he's not mixing it up at all there yeah I got about to it we got back leg throw the big chop on it landed it again he's definitely softening up that leg yeah you can see look at even kimbos stance just a little bit not as wide now Joey's not exposing that left leg as much first round uneventful Sakura coming up [Applause] in the corner Kimbo Slice asked ricardo labora from american top Singh what should I do yes Ricardo de bourree Oh what I do to counter this he said watch the leg don't throw your punches so straight set it up start cutting the corner shorten the distance every time he circles he's not doing that though Mike he's not cutting it off he's just letting him circle and that's what Ricardo talked about Joe Houston is not that's not effective movement either he's moving in the exact same way over and over and over again I mean he's just circling around him like a merry-go-round Kimball's getting frustrated now [Music] [Applause] again that inside leg kick and now it goes the outside but that's the one he really wants Joe Kimbo swinging Miss I've never seen Houston Alexander follow a strategy and a game plan so well well we just we saw what happened sorry Joe we saw what has happened when he has it yeah any strategy well he's I mean but he's becoming boring we would have ever thought not [Applause] everyone been talking about this fight since it has become official same perfect opponent let's see if Houston does become the perfect opponent for Kimbo then again he's not going into the strength of kimbos game [Applause] I mean if your Kimbo to you you take a chance you start to really move forward jump nice jab by Kimba here's your answer [Applause] now Jimbo's getting aggressive killers got a hold of me shakedown running into the full-mouth and music comes out my cello and again he used to stick in with this plan these are slaps tell Mike he's not he's not Thomas like these leg kick he slipped and Timbo chunks right on it [Applause] nasty body shot Alexander [Applause] the assassin Joe's taking his bow bow Houston yeah he's taking his back finish that again [Applause] you see antenna kimbos game they had to take a lot of wind out of Alexander [Applause] shots my kinfolk got his back [Applause] trying to get the hooks jinjo Kimbo Slice has been working on his ground game Mike that is for sure Ricardo laborious and all the great trainers and fighters at ATT American Top Team [Applause] looking to finish my submission he's like he's gotta get behind excuse me bonds used to know every watts of finishing he's gonna turn I'm here and wound up and kills garden Mountain [Applause] Kimbo Slice to assess his own skills show and no way him to learn this the ground game if he was going to be a true MMA fighter and we see some of the hard work coming to fruition here tonight while you guys so tell that by his excellent choice to start training with American Top Team he knew he was gonna get beat up day in day some of the best fighters in the world there but then it would only make it better and you're seeing right now the fruits of his labor 15 seconds left in round 2 Alexander's up you sit out the back door but he's taking some shots Mike [Applause] that's a big uppercut [Applause] third and final round [Applause] Kelvin last round let's buy five minutes remains Kimbo hurt houston a couple of times in round number two round number two is all Kimbo Slice mike mouse under the left eye of Alexander and Kim both showing a ground game looking for submissions Houston swinging now Alexander has one punch knockout power we've seen that before here's what we thought would be the process early that's a very tired Mike his hands just slowly out of blood he might have a problem here now they always talk about the jab being the most underutilized weapon in MMA kimbos throwing that jab to finish fights let's do this I'm bleeding you're bleeding let's put on a show this is what we promised the world I mean you want to talk about the power of the internet show Timbo shaking it off he shatters through it absolutely trying to find that chin but he says his arms are so tired at this point no we saw what he did against Jardine right but that was in the first round yeah I know in this third round meeting such a muscular guy all that blood to pump it through those muscles right now [Music] [Applause] our Kim bo-gyung and Houston to get it going it's worked out in its work under three now [Applause] I would have never thought we'd be seeing a third round and I never would have thought we'd be seeing a third round with these guys to stand in front of each other like this Alexander trying to tuck under again gel that was a big shot Mike he went through that need no question half guard [Applause] [Applause] under two now you can hear the corner of Alexander say hi we've done it we've gotten this far now let's turn it up but does Houston Alexander have anything left to do so Houston Alexander is exhausted Mike he's trying to grab a hold the foot of Kimbo Slice and possibly put him in an electric chair sweet but he's just too tired huge shots to the midsection you said Alexander trying to work the head of Kimbo Slice breaking clean break [Applause] didn't happen in the first minute of the fight it might happen here in the last Gitmo just took some deep deep breaths both men are very tired Mike and there's that leg kick again one minute remains Tim Oh check that one [Applause] it was very awkward on that leg of my go question while we knew it was damaged from watching him inside the Ultimate Fighter out and Houston's throwing those kicks they just don't have a lot of pep on them the one that did is the one that put him down and you could tell slice was hurt [Applause] again he's working that front leg under 30 seconds remains [Applause] Kimbo just looked up at the clock here comes both guys are so tired like look how slow these punches are coming Oh big [Applause] and behind it final seconds of the fight Wow perhaps shocking the MMA world it goes the distance then what a huge slam I mean this one almost finished the fight vicious ground-and-pound so we are seeing the growth of a true mixed martial artist in Kimbo Slice Houston Alexander with a huge kick he stuck to his game plan but was it enough let's find out Bruce Buffer with the official decision ladies and gentlemen after three rounds we go to the judges scorecards for a decision the judges score this contest 29 28 29 28 and 30 27 declaring the winner by unanimous decision not the way we thought it would occur but you know what I see a future I think the world does tonight in Kimbo Slice
