Since the last (8 second!) KO loss to James Irvin, where to now for Houston?

The guy has some great stand-up and plenty of natural athleticism, but he was for sure over whelmed by some of the guys he has fought.

If he really wishes to contend and be among the best right now he needs to get serious with his grappling and wrestling, find himself a proper mma gym with solid wrestling and bjj (maybe he should use the gymdb :P) and garner experience against the lower-end competition. I doubt the UFC would completely drop him, as he is an exciting fighter, but they may have no choice if he continues with his loosing streak.

For now though I see him making some appearances at a few UFC fight nights. I always had a soft spot for this dude, being a single dad with six children cannot be easy.

Also Houston is not exactly the youngest guy at age 37, Perhaps he has had his 15 minutes of fame, and now he’ll be seen meandering around the occasional UFC Fight Night?
