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...

UFC 78 is only two days away (!), and ESPN.com is doing its part to pump it up. Check out these videos on some of the night's key fighters and get psyched.

Remember when we told you that Kimbo Slice's opponent for EliteXC: Renegade had been changed from Mike Bourke to Bo Cantrell, and that Cantrell had recently become infamous as the second consecutive guy that Brad Imes submitted by gogoplata? Well, we finally have the video of the Imes/Cantrell fight. Check it out below, and notice how Cantrell looks like a completely different fighter compared to his laughable non-performance against Kimbo. He quickly drops the much-taller "Hillbilly Heartthrob" to the mat with a barrage of punches, and tries to finish the fight early with some relentless ground-and-pound. But Imes manages to keep his composure and ends up choking Cantrell out with his shin. It's a crazy world. Too bad EliteXC didn't put Kimbo up against Imes...

Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson is an intimidating son-of-a-bitch. Still, there's no excuse for what happened Saturday night at EliteXC: Renegade. Kimbo's "opponent," Bo Cantrell — a late replacement for the injured Mike Bourke — came into the fight completely psyched out, and after a couple of glancing shots from Kimbo, he dropped to the mat and started tapping for mercy. You have to watch the video to see just how pussified it was:
