Roy Nelson's Interesting Update

From Roy Nelson's Twitter feed and Facebook status update.
Steve Cofield at Cagewriter comments:
TUF 10 closes with two episodes tonight on Spike. James McSweeney battles an unknown opponent. Is it Matt Mitrione or Kimbo Slice? In the other quarterfinal, Darrill Schoonover faces Marcus Jones. Nelson and Brendan Schaub are waiting in the semifinals which will be aired in hour two. It would be highly unusual for a semifinalist from TUF to be left off a Finale card, but maybe Nelson irked White so much during the season and in the aftermath that he told "Big Country" to stay in his garage.
I'm aware that Wikipedia and Fighters Only have already posted the results but please, NO SPOILERS in this thread.

why would fighters only do that? didnt they see the UFC shun against sherdog for years? why would they want to risk that?
I'm old school hating Lesnar, I've been hating Lesnar since '08
He also has another cryptic tweet when talking to demico
Demico: Been good Roy, hows training going?
Roy: Training is good, I will let you know after this weekend how good training was. How are things with you?
This could be a typo. Do you have any idea how many athletes and celebrities have their agencies run their twitter/facebook? Some intern who knows nothing about MMA could have messed this up.
Roy Nelson with an agent/intern would be the most awesome thing ever.
The number of fighters who have agencies run their Twitter? Zero.

Nah, I remember on the Jason Ellis show a fighter was on there and Ellis asked him if he had Twitter. The fighter said no and his agent/manager guy came in and said “actually you do, I started it a few weeks ago.” Cant remember which fighter it was.
That’s a very rare thing indeed. There’s a chance the agent started the Twitter account, but I know of zero fighters who are not currently updating their own Twitter accounts.

Lyoto's dad manages his twitter
I mean c’mon, did you see the denim gi he wore last fight? the guy is as mainstream as they come
"I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight what you saw, in the ring"
I’ve seen posts from Lyoto’s account admitting certain posts weren’t from him. I’m betting he sits down with someone for 20 minutes here and there and they type his answers in for him.
Giving Shogun his props. I had the fight 48-47 Machida but Shogun put up a monumental performance and I am honored to have seen it in person.
Lyoto posts himself,
and at the times where people tweet for him, it is stated that it is not from lyoto.. but im sure if he doesn’t understand some of the english parts, his PR person helps him out a bit.

I don’t think Roy has an “agency”, I was under the impression he kinda does his own thing.

Yea, Roy prob dosent have an agent, but dont all fighters have managers? There is conflicting information out on the internet. I still think this could be BS.
I’m not sure if all of them do or not. Probably most but I doubt if it’s 100%.

Thanks for the Spoiler BloodyElbow!
Thanks for spoiling tonight for me, was looking forward to that fight most of all.
WTF?
Its Roy being Roy, he is amusing his self. Don’t read anything into it. Have to seen spoilers?
Some people think I am a dumb, ugly human being, but really I am a beautiful ape, with exceptional verbal skills.
This should say, “have toy seen spoilers?”
Some people think I am a dumb, ugly human being, but really I am a beautiful ape, with exceptional verbal skills.
I doubt that’s what it should say.

Well even if Roy is in the finale, he’s not in every fight… He could be talking about watching the rest of the card… Main event after all is hamill/jones

Oh and even if Roy loses in semi finals I doubt Dana would have him stay home just cause h doesn’t like him, ufc has had alot of injuries/problems with fighters.

Yo
That’s a Facebook status, not a tweet.
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms, turning every good thing to rust.
You can link the two together – it may also have been on Twitter.

He tweeted that first..
Deleted the tweet, then posted the same thing from facebook last night..
by Anton Tabuena on Dec 2, 2009 2:46 PM EST up reply actions
Caus I guess his Twitter account doesn't automatically update his facebook,
But his face book does. So if he wants to put it on both, he just has to use his facebook.
But for whatever reason, he posted on twitter first. Then deleted the double message.

Spoiler of main page
The entire reason that this is newsworthy and was posted on the homepage is the fact that Big Country is apparently intimating that he will lose in the semifinals on tonight’s not yet aired 2 hour semifinal end of season special.
Either Roy is a moron, or is really trying to bend the rules here to piss of the UFC brass.
No fighter, who is fighting on Saturday would say, “Can’t wait to watch the fights Saturday”
jeebus
Roy Nelson would. Don’t you remember his odd “Babe Ruth” tweet before the Kimbo fight?
by ufc4 on Dec 2, 2009 3:02 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
speaking of kimbo
houston by submission (twister). put it on the board! championship! consider yourselves spoiled
"I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight what you saw, in the ring"
Who gives a shite if FaceSpace or something he Twat
spoiler, would not have been a post at BE otherwise, this blows, thanks for killing it for us needlessly
Again, it's no spoiler.
Quit whining already.

Also, Kimbo, Wren and madsen lost, but they're in the finale too..
What The hell are you talking about?
by Anton Tabuena on Dec 2, 2009 2:51 PM EST up reply actions
I do like the fact that you called a "tweet" a "twat"
It made me giggle a bit
I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!

Maybe Roy’s just messing with us. He’s like that.
Keep firing Assholes!
In Idaho, it's illegal to f--- a porcupine. You know why? Because someone tried it.
I was accidentally spoiled by other means
trying, of all things, to figure out if the show started at 9 or 10 on wikipedia.
Well, then yourcomment is a spoiler then. ;)

I guess it is. Everyone just needs to avoid freaking out, because Roy’s comments mean nothing in regards to the outcome of the show.
I guess it doesn’t matter. In five or six hours, everyone will know.

How is this a spoiler?
He’s looking forward to watching the fights on the finale. So what. He trained with a lot of the guys that will be fighting, and wants to see them in action. It doesn’t mean that he also won’t be fighting. Simmer down whistle blowers.
Have people never seen a Roy Nelson message before?
The guy could tweet/facebook that Tank Abbott was his new coach and people would buy it.
Nelson gets off on getting a rise out of people.

ATTN: ALL
This doesn’t mean Roy will or will not be fighting Saturday. What it does mean, and we already knew this, is that Roy thinks he is funny. He is an internet troll with a good ground game.

He’s also got a black belt in the buffet line.

Jeeze...
Quit yer bitchin people. There’s no spoiler. And if somehow, Roy is that dumb to post that, and it isn’t some cryptic message…get mad at him, not BE.

I actually got the results spoiled by watching the show! The other day i was flicking through the channels and i saw TUF10 was on, and i figured it would be a repeat because it wasn’t screened in the states last week. Nope. I changed it over right into the last semi-final fight.
Sorry, he Jason Bourned me.
you aussies must not record tv… the only episode i found was the remaining two quaterfinals taken from an arabian source…..
Yeh after watching the end of the last episode i tried torrenting both of them and found nothing. It’s probably because this is the first time in Australian history that we have actually screened a U.S show before America.
Sorry, he Jason Bourned me.
It did ruin everything. I think I’m going to try and start an Australian tradition where, for one day out of the year, we give thanks for not having to celebrate thanksgiving. I’ll call it, “Thanks, but no thanks, day.”
Sorry, he Jason Bourned me.
I hate Kid Nate
Not really but it rhymes.
