MMAFighting.com recently interviewed UFC Light-Heavyweight fighter, Houston Alexander. If that name is not familiar to you, soon it will be. Houston is a rising star in MMA, and specifically in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, because of his fight-ending speed and power. (His total time spend inside the UFC octagon over the course of his two fights in the organization has been a little over two minutes.)
But Alexander is far more than a UFC brawler. He is also a D.J., an artist, and an educator. His D.J. gig happens over the airwaves of Omaha's NRG Media Power 106.9 KOPW. His latest artistic turn came in the form of a graffiti project for Red Bull. And his educational gig comes in the form of the Culture Shock School Tour, where Alexander and friends teach children about the roots and true culture of hip-hop, void of its commercial trappings.
You can read the original MMAFighting.com interview at Houston Alexander: A grateful and enthusiastic fighter.
Also check out a great interview on Complex.com in their celebrity section: Renaissance Man Redefined.
