This is the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

Former UFC legend. Omaha's own Houston, Alexander the assassin in the studio with us. What up, brother? Hey, what's going on, brother? How were you? Thanks for coming up, man. I came in here walking in the studio really angry at you guys because you'll still have your hair. But you've got the best bald head I've seen on a long time. Totally pull that look off. You should not be self-conscious at all. And Todd asked you if you could grow something if you wanted to. What'd you say off the air? No, George Jefferson. Maybe the side's popping out. You can't go in the ring look like a George Jefferson. But see, nobody would take you seriously and you'd kick their ass, man. So you would have hair on the side if you let a girl? Bozo. Yeah, that'll be Bozo. Black Bozo. Jesus. Black. I'm not going to say that. You just did. I know, but you can't kick my ass. I'm not in the studio. Yeah, you're at home. I'll just wait outside your house. So last time I saw a person... Wait, wait, wait. I got one more question about the hair. When you shave it down, do you use the cream and a razor? No, I use the free bird... Yeah. Clipper. I stop it. You know what? My brother-law Has a head like yours And he does He's got that thing He shaves every day Yeah I feel like an idiot Because for for almost 15 20 years I've been using a razor Cutting my head up And then all of a sudden They got this thing called Technology Word I got this thing Where you can actually shave your head so man yeah man what's your call uh it's the called a free free bird

actually it's pretty it's because you really didn't blood never freaked you out because you bled a lot

over the yeah yeah not at all but you know it's it's crazy because it actually it shaves your hair

really close just like a razor and uh all you have to do is just rinse it off and keep it moving.

Yeah.

We're talking about shaving my head. The last time you're in the studio, you was before that last barrenuckle fight, and I was ring-sided that fight. I don't think I've seen you talk to you since that. Maybe I've been with the phone we talked once or twice. Yeah. But that sport is so amazing and it was so fun.

I'm glad on the phone we talked once or twice but I but that that sport is so amazing and so it was so fun and I'm glad you you enjoyed it I did and you won that

ballot obviously the one I saw in Ola Hall years ago a couple years back and and did you

because that dude was tough he took some punches man yeah he was a third he was like

third in the world yeah he was tough man he took some punches, man. Yeah, he was like third in the world.

Yeah, he was tough, man.

He took some punches.

Were you stung at all in that fight? No, not at all. Okay. Well, he barely hit me. I know he did. I know he barely hit me. So he was swinging for the fences. He was. Yeah, so, but, you know, and when he was hitting him in the ribs, they were ones like, oh, man, he's getting his rib.

I was laughing at, actually laughing at him in the corner. I was close enough. I could tell you were having a good time. Yeah, it was, so, and but for a couple of months, my coach, Curley Alexander, he was taking some 50-pound ball and throwing it on my stomach for like 15 minutes.

That's how you're training for that.

Yeah. So we are trained for that. We knew that guy was going to try to go for the ribs because he was a shorter guy. So you go for the body and then you go for the head. Yeah, but you don't have to roll logs over your shins like you did for UFC training. I don't have to do that. I don't have to do it. But see, every once in a while I'll do it just to make sure I can, you know, kick somebody.

Okay.

I got to make sure.

Yeah, with a bare-kn boxes, you can't kick anybody. That's another thing I thought we ever asked you. I realize you're in there, you know, you're in a bare knuckle fight, but what, after all the years of UFC, how do you stop yourself from kicking somebody? Oh, man, you know what? I had to start. The first fight I had with Barrennuckle, I had to stop myself. Oh, really? Because I almost killed that guy. Because I hit him. He was already out in midair. And then I was going after him again because I thought he was, you I thought it was moving do all the regular rules
