What is Houston Alexander's Net Worth?
Houston Alexander is an American professional mixed martial artist with a net worth of $400 thousand. He currently competes in Bellator's Light Heavyweight division and has previously fought for the UFC, Shark Fights, and KSW.
Early Life and Background
Born in East St. Louis, Illinois, Alexander grew up in a challenging neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska. There, he quickly learned to defend himself. As a teenager, he was active in sports like football, wrestling, and boxing. Additionally, he excelled as a graffiti artist and was accepted to the Savannah College of Art & Design in Georgia during his senior year of high school. However, he chose not to attend to stay close to his daughter. Instead, he worked as a head machine operator at an asphalt company before jumping into the world of mixed martial arts.
Professional MMA Career
Alexander made a remarkable UFC debut on May 26, 2007, knocking out his opponent in just 49 seconds during the first round — a significant upset. Despite a promising start, his UFC career ended a few years later after a loss to Kimbo Slice during the Heavyweights Finale. He continued fighting in various independent promotions, most recently scoring a TKO against Matt Uhde at Bellator 117.
Life Beyond the Ring
Outside his MMA career, Alexander is deeply involved in Omaha's underground hip hop scene, known by the names "Scrib," "Cone-Dome," and "FAS/ONE." He currently hosts an independent music show on KOPW 106.9 in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Additionally, he runs the Culture Shock School Tour, an elementary school program designed to educate students about hip hop culture.
Personal Life
As a dedicated single father, Alexander is raising six children. In a testament to his familial devotion, he donated one of his kidneys to his eldest daughter in 2000.
