AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep Firing, Assholes!
The world on a string doesn't mean a thing.
It's only real in the way that I feel from day to day.

I can’t stop laughing at the picture either. haha. If they were the same race, It look like a before and after picture for a weight loss ad.

I had the same feeling.
I love Roy, but this picture was funny as hell seeing him beside someone so cut.

Im not sure I agree with this fight. If Roy Nelson loses, he loses to a guy who looks scary but has yet to live up to his hype and doesnt really have a huge fanbase.
I think I’d like to see Big Country vs Big Nog instead. That fight is a win/win for the UFC, if Big Country wins he’s a contender, if Big Nog wins he beats a rising star in the UFC and they get the added bonus of Roy losing to a legend and not some overhyped kickboxer with no ground skills.
Your style's like garbage cans meant to be taken out on a weekly basis
Ever since your first record you've been in a state of suspended animation
You look like Snuffleuffagus and Australopithecus
Me cray, you abacus

Or we get to see a guy who looks like the greek god of abs get gut smothered by someone who looks like they have a lifetime membership to Dominos.

Maybe it’s just a gatekeeper fight for Roy to see if he gets thrown into the mix with guys like Nog and Mir to start working his way up to the serious contenders.

I love that they keep putting Nelson in fights that look like the before and after shots for a P90X ad.

When you think about it
Pretty much every fight Roy has ever been in has been like that

No way! P90x can change me into a black man?

That's a really good question
In a vacuum, I love this fight. I think Kongo is the right step up for Nelson and will be a good barometer of how good Big Country really is.
But both of these guys were possible opponents for JDS, who needs at least one fight while the whole Cain-Brock-Shane thing sorts itself out.

Frank Mir is a possibilty, but that doesn’t seem fair to frank coming off a loss.
by MikeD32 on Apr 24, 2010 12:16 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
JDS can probably wait around for the winner of this fight if need be. He’ll have enough time since he is waiting on Brock to defend against Carwin and Cain.

this
I believe JDS will fight the winner of this one.
I think it’s a good idea because no one wants JDS to take a step down in competition. Fighting the winner of this fight is a step up in competition from Gonzaga, whose last decent win was 3 years ago over cro cop. Since then Gonzaga had only beat McCully, Hendricks, and Tuscherer, who basically all suck.

That leaves JDS on the shelf for awhile
He last fought on the same card as Kongo. I don’t like the UFC putting one of its most exciting young talents on the shelf that long.

If Pat Barry gets past Cro Cop
I’d like to see Barry vs. JDS to keep Junior busy. Hell, we might actually see Junior try to take it to the ground in that one.

Holy crap
I hadn’t thought of that, but I absolutely love that fight.

I don’t get the laughing comments…
is it because Kongo is not a worthy opponent? Because I would agree. Maybe we will get to see Roy’s ground game this time tho. Thus far both his UFC fights have just be stand-up fights. Roy can take this in the first round with a submission. I was hoping someone like maybe Gonzaga. I thought the initial idea was to give him JDS (which I would not like because I like Roy and don’t want him destroyed).

UGH
Roy Nelson is quickly becoming my favorite heavyweight…..really didn’t see that coming back when I was screaming at him to get off Kimbo.
just 'cause you pour syrup on shit, don't make it pancakes
I was hoping for Nelson vs Big Nog, but I guess Nog is still a step too high despite the loss to Cain.
Getting bent out of shape over a fight promoter lying is like getting upset that a hooker won't kiss you. It betrays a deep lack of understanding of the nature of the profession.
I think they’re hoping for a Cro Cop win so they can do Cro Cop vs Big Nog II. Everyone wants to see that fight.
by IWillPartyHard on Apr 24, 2010 1:31 PM EDT up reply actions
also possible for 116 Marquardt vs. Sakara and Schaub vs. Tuchscherer

Well well...
… Roy Nelson by whatever he wants.
… JDS can probably take a fight with Mir. At least this would make a good Countdown segment.
… and here I am wasting my 100th post ! :)
Thats not a waste
I really love the idea of JDS vs. Mir. I think it will tell us much more about Mir than JDS to tell you the truth. I can’t get a read on that guy
This
Mir – JDS would do gangbusters.

by Dave Strummer on Apr 24, 2010 4:10 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, JDS needs to fight either Mir, or the winner of this fight. It all depends on if the UFC needs to add a solid co-main event to a PPV sooner (Mir) or later (winner of this fight).
Between those two options, I'd rather see JDS wait for the winner of this fight.
I think JDS/Nelson or JDS/Kongo could make for good fights. Mir…rematch him with Nog, or heck, do Mir/Cro Cop.
This is an interesting match up...

I think Roy should one day just get in awesome shape and show up to the weigh ins looking like a beast and we could watch Dana’s head explode.

If he did get in “awesome shape” he’d be under the heavyweight limit.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
