It seems so at this point. Alexander was at his worst against Eric Schafer and was submitted with only 7 seconds remaining in round one. Alexander had a great start and threw some good punches, but with his career on the line he was taken down easily by Schafer and submitted subsequently. I like Houston. I think he is a great guy. But with no ground game, he simply has no real future in the MMA world. He can knock people out. That’s for sure. But a true elite 205 fighter should have no business losing to Eric Schafer in such a dominating fashion. Good luck to Houston in the future.

It didn’t take too long for Frank Mir to talk about his disapproval of Lesnar getting a title shot against Randy Couture. When asked about what he thought about Brock Lesnar getting a title shot, he was blunt about it:

I think that Lesnar’s name is the only reason he’s getting a title match

I personally like Frank. I think he is a great MMA fighter. But sometimes he gives this impression that he think he is bigger than he really is to the UFC. Now I understand guys like Werdum or the Nog talking badly about Lesnar, but Mir used Lesnar as a stepping stone to get a title shot he doesn’t serve in my opinion. Not only that, he got his Ultimate Fighter gig because of his fight with Lesnar, so for a guy who has benefited the most from Lesnar, he is certainly disrespectful. And he should’ve been stopped if the referee didn’t have that bogus call against Lesnar, but that’s another story. You be the judge.
