That’s a possibility…And Alexander should take his training seriously and go to some serious training camps. NOt just train in his own backyard with truck wheels and weights…

i see the logic in certain fans wishing for him never to fight in the ufc again. However that is based on the fact he has no ground game, which in itself may be ebough to back up the argument.

Although I feel he is an exciting fighter who is certainly one who can fill cards and almost guarantee an exciting finish either way!! I like the ufc keeping guys like this around as they always can make a dull card look a little better, even if its not at the top of mma!!

I would also love the ufc to re-sign tito, for very simliar reasons!! although it doesnt look like its ever gony happen.

The UFC can re-sign him around as a gatekeeper but the guy is what 36? He doesn’t have a long career ahead of him. Pay him $75,000 a year and hope he survives three more fights.

C’mon Jesse. Don’t go using direct quotes to paint a different picture than the facts. He said he was fighting for 7 years and mathematically has over 180 wins. And he obviously did all this WITHOUT training since he just started 1 1/2 yrs ago. He was just goofing around before. You guys are all gonna feel really stupid around the corner. Next LHW champ. (Whoa! Deja vu. I think I have heard that last statement before.)

I like having Alexander in the UFC. He has balls and fights good competition (unlike Kimbo); he gets the crowd going and always has that edge of your seat KO in his hands/knees.
After his recent losses on the ground though, you would have to think he is drilling sprawl, sweeps and guard overtime.

You could also feed Houston some of the guys coming over from the WEC.

Yeah but in fairness to Machida he isn’t getting knocked out in 12 seconds so…
