Houston Alexander confirms fight against Kimbo Slice
by Natalia Baage on October 29, 2009

Houston Alexander confirmed that he will fight Kimbo Slice at UFC 107 in December.

The news came from Alexander on his radio show in Nebraska.  However, when listeners called in for more information, Alexander refused to comment further.  The report came via MMAWeekly.com.

A month ago, Slice had a slip of the tongue when he was interviewed, saying that he would be fighting on Dec. 12.  However, Slice caught himself and took back his comment.

UFC President Dana White did not comment on the match up over the UFC 104 weekend.

Both fighters are known for their striking ability, and will more than likely be looking to keep the bout standing.

 |  (128) Comments Jason Lee: I hope I'm not the only one looking forward to this fight.. and glad to hear that Kimbo is moving down to LHW. It's a good move for him. It may not be a "superfight" against the best fighters in the world.. but it's going to be a very good stand up brawl. I don't see this fight going past the 1st round. Ceelarence: I hope Houston beats all that BS hype right out of Kimbo and all the noobs. Giada Esposito: I predict... KOTN bonus for Houston. :) alexbond: Easy win for Alexander even though this is the best possible match up for Kimbo, Kimbo's just bad. mma3dge: kimbo's boxing is leaps and bounds past houston's. it'd be a good idea if houston leg kicked his way to a take down in this. unless the ufc tells him to keep it standing... lol JujitsWho: I did hear something about Kimbo training with Greg Jackson somewhere, but even he can't turn a turd into a gold nugget Little_Kang: This is probably one of the only fights that I will actually cheer for Kimbo, because I FUCKING hate Houston Alexander Storm: catch weight 215lbs. Mtx: For some reason I really dont like Alexander, so I´ll be cheering for Kimbo who I like a bit more since TUF. But I to give the edge to Alexander. Ceelarence: I dont see why everyone is hating so much on Houston. I mean what has the guy really done to deserve it? Hes never disrespectful when it isnt justified, the Jardine fight was justified. He never goes around saying hes unstoppable or gloating in any type of mannor. He is always very sincere in his interviews. I just dont get it, at all. Is it the hype? I mean, coming in and getting back-to-back KO's over Jardine and Sakara. I think that calls for a little bit of hype. Maybe Im wrong. But Kimbo, really? You think this guy has more class than Houston??? WTF is wrong with you guys?? DragonWarrior: Is this fight happening at UFC 107 or TUF finale? Giada Esposito: I saw a homeless guy, um, "fapping" in the subway once. That was gross. I was pretty young too, so it's like burned into my memory. I didn't even know what he was doing until my sister explained to me later. :( Giada Esposito: God, you guys! :p
