Houston Alexander Requests NSAC License; UFC 109 at Mandalay?

The Nevada State Athletic Commission Wednesday released the agenda for a Nov. 4 tele-meeting to discuss current business.

Two items on the agenda stood out:

1) A request from Houston Alexander for a fight license (all fighters over 35 must do so when their previous license runs out).

2) A request from Zuffa, LLC to hold an MMA event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Feb. 6.

Alexander (14-4-1) reportedly announced he'd be fighting Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson at UFC 107 on his Nebraska radio show, and subsequently sealed his lips when the inevitable media calls came in.

UFC president Dana White declined to confirm the match-up at a press conference for UFC 104 last week.

Last month, Alexander secured a future in the UFC--for the meantime--with a victory over Sherman Pendergarst at Adrenaline IV, which is promoted by his manager Monte Cox.

Slice is currently in Miami and commuting to American Top Team for his next fight. He has been mum about his next opponent in media appearances.

That would be a good fight!! Lots of action, i think it can go either way.I dont think it goes pass the first round.

I dunno, depends what weight class. Seems to me that Alexander is pretty small for heavy weight.
