Looks like the UFC may try to capitalize on Kimbo Slice’s drawing power with pay-per-view buys instead of ratings after all.
According to Five Oz., the UFC is in the initial stages of pitting Kimbo against Houston Alexander at 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.
Ms. Tracy Lee, MMA photographer extraordinaire, has an update straight from Houston Alexander.
So there’s a lot of stuff being said that the fight between him and kimbo is confirmed. Straight from his mouth, this fight has not been confirmed!!
Obviously, this is a just a rumor at this point. I’ve heard it in a few places in the past week or so, but Five Oz. is the first credible site that has issued a report on it.
It’s makes a lot of sense though. Who better to match up Kimbo with than somebody as green on the ground as he is?

Would this B a heavyweight fight?
Don’t know, didn’t say.
probably LHW i don’t see houston moving up to HW
Catchweight of 215?
no kimbo said in an interview that he would drop to 205 if the ufc asked so probably 205
I think it would have to be a heavyweight bout because Kimbo definately doesn’t have enough fat on him to lose 30 pounds of it in 2 months, and muscle takes a while to shrivel up, so I beleive this would have to be a heavyweight bout.
Finally…some Black on Black crime! just as Rampage..I meant B.A. Baracus promised..Bitch Ass Baracus.
I would love to see this fight! So I can see Kimbo on his feet. Alexander might knock his ass out though! Who knocked Houston out with one punch? I don’t know why but I want to see Kimbo do good.

I would love to see a catchweight in between light heavy weight and heavy weight (220lbs) because you don’t see those to often and maybe it will cause more fights to happen in that weight range, just like 195lbs catchweight that will eventually turn into a weight class!
houston would get him in the clinch and knee his fucking face off. HA by tko rd 1
