AMARILLO, Texas – When light heavyweight slugger Houston Alexander burst into national consciousness with back-to-back
highlight-reel stoppages in the UFC, “The Assassin” seemed primed to provide the
world with an endless stream of entertaining video clips.
Unfortunately for Alexander, in five of his next six fights those clips
involved someone else getting their hand raised at the end of the reel.
But the 38-year-old has always refused to quit, even when it seemed like
his only option, and never was that attitude more apparent than in his
Shark Fights 13 victory over fellow UFC veteran Rameau Thierry
Sokoudjou.
