James "The Sandman" Irvin had gone through a rough year in 2007 as
he injured his knee and was only able to fight twice. Irvin and Houston
Alexander have one thing in common….they both lost to Thiago Silva last
year. They’re both ready to change it up in 2008, but there can only be
one winner. The Sandman predicts a winner within the first round, but
we’ll just have to wait and see what happens on fight night in Colorado.
Don’t miss out on April 2nd’s UFC Ultimate
Fight Night 13.
Here’s a snip from James Irvin:
"I don’t see how the fight can get out of the first round but I
think if it does — I think at 5,000 feet altitude, that’s going to play a big
part — all that muscle he carries, I think he’s going to be really
tired…He’s got something that can knock me out any second, so I can’t go in
there being careless. I can’t go in there without being methodical about it,
and that’s the biggest thing is everything we’re doing (in training) has method
to it. I’m just going to set him up. We’ve got some traps I’m going to walk him
into."
