Did anybody else notice that Houston's belly seemed to be really, really itchy?
Nice...the UFC picks pussies like that but let Fedor and Randy walk away. LOL!!! Support Fedor and Randy!!!
Feed Houston to Rashad.
BS. That is a LOSS.
Isn't the striker the guy who wants to be greased up to prevent takedowns and subs? A slippery body is the opposite of what a ground fighter wants -- either his or his opponents.
seriously, who the fuck greases up if they are trying to take someone down?
in all accusational cases of someone greasing, it's been the person who wanted the fight on the feet
if he did grease it would only hinder his own gameplan, on the feet and on the ground
I guess the UFC really does have the best fighters in the world
It would have been to the superior striker's advantage (alexander) to continue fighting under these circumstances.
Alexander should've been thrilled!
Then again, maybe it was the principle of the the whole thing.
Greasing up your body is for faggots and cheats.
Maybe Alexander wasn't sure which one (or both) was standing across from him.
"in all accusational cases of someone greasing, it's been the person who wanted the fight on the feet

Marck and Total:
Thanks for showing some common sense.
Houston should have been overjoyed with the fact that his opponent was greased for the fight.
Anyone remember Severn's fight against Macias in UFC 4. Macias was totally greased up for the fight to make it harder for Severn to control him. Didn't work but even Severn said it was hard to get a hold of Macias.
Houston's actions in the fight make me question his ability to handle poor positions on the ground.
I imagine that we'll find out on the next fight.
I wonder Silva will match him up with another striker next fight.
"Center of the ring boy!"
Houston should've punched that racist cunt right in her whore mouth.
Yeah, I'm sure that's how he meant it
it would be EXTREMELY hard to get out of a grease monkey's mount, or even out of bottom position with guard
"it would be EXTREMELY hard to get out of a grease monkey's mount, or even out of bottom position with guard"
No. Escaping positions (including the mount) or subs is 10x's easier when there's a slippery factor.
Being greased helps you get out of submissions, it doesn't hurt you if you want to GnP the other guy.
whoa, i'll pull the alcohol excuse on my last post.
"wtf??? Being greasy would mean Mount escapes were much easier?"
Yes. Your legs can slide through his with ease. So elbow escapes in particular are easier.
Subs: The only sub that's worse, now that I think about it, when everone is slippery is the rear naked.... hard as hell to stop.
I can't think of any positions that aren't easier to escape, however.
It's the polar opposite of the gi, where subs are easier to get and positions are usually harder to get out of. Everything is stickier and slower.

Houston still has issues with the mount.
well, dana just exposed yet another "up and coming" fighter in houston. looks like he'll have to find another way to make $$$ to raise his kids as dana will probably just fire him for losing.
in that video houston was trying the guillotine when his opponent was in side mount... identical to the thiago silva situation.
