But I think that has to do with the sidebar or on top if you hit it with your cursor. Anyway what about my boy Marcus Davis! Come on Josh I know you were rooting for him! Where's the love?

The HW division is actually filled with top notch grapplers (Lesnar, Carwin, Velasquez, Mir, Nogs, etc...) who would take Kimbo down and submit him easily. However, at 205 there are plenty of fighters who would be willing to stand and trade. If Kimbo KO's Houston (who has little ground game himself) it would be a step in that direction. But the UFC is going to put fights like this together mainly because it gives Kimbo a named fighter he can beat. I would never be surprised at the movements of the organization anymore. On the one hand they claim that a fighter has to put together a string of wins, then they throw a guy with one or two into a championship fight. Kimbo beats Alexander, drops to 205 and wins against someone else he would be right in title contention, as long as he still draws.
