Fight of the Day: Alexander vs. Jardine at UFC 71

That ESPN.com profile of Houston Alexander has inspired me to track down his fight against Keith Jardine from UFC 71 and post it for y'all in its entirety. Check out Houston springing up from a knockdown and dirty-boxing Jardine into unconsciousness. If he can operate on this level on Saturday, Thiago Silva doesn't stand a chance. Two more things to keep in mind:

1) If it wasn't obvious during his fight with Chuck Liddell, this video makes one thing abundantly clear — Keith Jardine is one awkward-ass fighter. He basically limps out to meet Alexander, and shakes his arms at eye level in what Joe Rogan describes as "the chimpanzee approach."

2) That last knee from Houston? Quite illegal. But hey, Jardine was probably going to lose anyway...
