Houston Alexander: "I've fought in over 200 fights.


Here's an excerpt from another article I found on MMAFightLine.com:

Alexander on fighting in over 200 non-sanctioned bouts:

A lot of the time they were in Des Moines, Iowa, Sioux City, Omaha, a lot of fights going on in Illinois. The majority of them were around the area that I stay in. Whether or not people believe me or not? Do I care? No. I know where I’ve been over the past seven years and it’s been fighting in the small shows for lesser amounts of money than I’m getting now. But I enjoy doing it. I enjoy doing it and it pays the bills.

I’ve fought probably every type of fighter and any type of style of fighter that’s probably ever been laid out. Jiu jitsu style, wrestling style, boxing style. I’ve probably fought every type of style, probably fought every type of weight, and I’ve fought every type of height. Nothing surprises me in the UFC right now. I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen fat, short, tall, toothless. I’ve seen it all, man. As a matter of fact, it’s a pleasant surprise to be in the UFC because I get to actually fight someone who is my actual weight. I’ve been fighting guys that were twice my size for the past seven years. At 205, I’m grinning with glee.
