That's my guess. Houston is a great standup fighter for sure, but like everyone else has been saying, one dimensional. Irvin Has his BJJ/Wrestling to fall back onto and knows how to bang with heavy hands. Rampage even said no one hits him harder, tonight the sandman will put the assassin to sleep Irvin for the win Arm Bar. That’s my guess.

People give him the benefit of the doubt with his loss to Thiago. People are giving him at least one excuse. I'm not. The only excuse Houston has for that loss is "I'm not at the correct level". Houston is a banger as is Baroni, as is Kimbo. These type of fighters only last as long as the organisers want them to. As soon as they are not put in against fellow bangers, they'll lose big time and consistently. Houston will be found out soon enough.

He is fine at where he is at and is used to fighting heavyweights. His 203 is rock solid. He weighed in at 202 for the Jardine fight. He walks around just under 210 these days, he doesn't really cut anything. Plus weight cutting I've heard can be a bit rough on your kidneys. With him only having one, I doubt he'd cut unless he had to. Houston will probably not ever cut to 185. He is fine at where he is at and is used to fighting heavyweights.

I know that guy is ripped to shreds but he hasn't got the biggest frame; not that it stops him because he's a powerhouse and tremendously strong but I actually reckon he can make 185, (like Eastman, he got down somehow). I'm not about do the Rogan thing where as soon as someone loses you suggest they move down but I would love to see him at MW against maybe...oh let me see...someone else to beef up the division...someone from 205...ah yes, the Axe Murderer. Now there's a fight. Alexander has come in at 203 before if I remember correctly.
