How? Nelson is a dangerous ass dude, hard as hell to look good against him in a win.. Likely to beat Nelson you need to drag out an ugly decision, or pound his head and hope you don't break something.
Like Roy and he puts on a good show, but like others have said..when he steps up..he gets beat every time. With HW all it takes is one shot, but I see this hitting the ground and DC grinding it out.
I don't get why anyone thinks this is an easy night for Cormier. Nelson is a stud. He has a chin of granite. A great right hand and is an ADCC calibre grappler. Cormier is definitely the favorite but he has his hands full. Great fight if you ask me. As for Cormier making 205 i think thats a really dumb idea. His done this before and ended up with Kidney failure. Pretty stupid to try again. If Jones wants the fight then meet at a catch weight of 220.
How? Cormier already claimed he was going to take the throne from Jones @ 205! Now he wants to back out and fight an inferior fighter? Roy is dangerous to faded cans like Kongo! Nelson gets worked against a real HW..
Na! Nelson, not so long ago was a pure jujitsu fighter. He beat Frank Mir in jits competitions back in the day. Recently he has been focusing on striking and losing some useless weight. Granite chin, world-class jits and weird power in that right hand make him a handful for anyone, including Cormier. I would pay to see them fight as most fans would. The question is: Are you willing to put your hard-earned money down to see those two big dudes fight? The answer is yes. All else is rubbish.
:rofl Cormier dominated every second of that fight. He looked like Couture with speed. It's hard to imagine any heavyweight dealing with him once he closes the distance. He can take them all down once he is there, and it's next to impossible to take him down. If he doesn't want to go to the ground, as he didn't against Mir; he just holds you against the cage and works you over. Cormier's speed would be too much for Nelson. Nelson's only chance is a miracle right hand.
Cormier would probably win. But fans would pay to see the fight as Nelson definitely has that "miracle right hand." Brock Lesnar who everybody of late have been pissing on manhandled Mir in far more dominating fashion than Cormier. Cormier should have steamrolled Mir as did Lesnar but fought a subdued, subpar fight and he admitted so in post-fight interviews.
Lesnar brutalized Mir, and size was a big issue. So much so that it made Mir decide that he couldn't compete unless he got bigger. Cormier is a smaller fighter than Mir, and controlled him with no problem what so ever. Cormier is too small to steam roll Mir the way Lesnar did. Cormier's best chance was to do what he did, and hope that he could drop Mir eventually; and finish him the way he did Bigfoot.
Yeah, I see your point. Cormier has great potential and I suspect he will be a beast of a fighter in the UFC. I just think Nelson with his jits world-class skills and huge power right hand is a threat to any man, including Cormier.
All of this is true apart from the ADCC cailbre grappler he is not. He wouldn't do **** to Cormier off his back apart from get up or maybe get a sweep which would lead to a scramble and them getting back up. He was soundly out grappled by Mir in their fight. It would be a good fight but only because Roy is dangerous on the feet and would have the ability to get back after he gets put down.
DESPICABLE ??? LMAO, let me guess, you had a PRIOR grudge against Roy because you rooted against him and he got his ass kicked but didn't care and just kept coming back without caring about getting his ass kicked and in the process gave his all each and every time he got in the cage. As well getting ino it MORE than ONCE on relatively SHORT notice to the BENEFIT of the UFC first and foremost via their CHOICE to have Roy fill in and it drove you crazy how TOUGH this FAT, BEARDED, fool with a ATTITUDE truthfully was and as I stated a GRUDGE created within you overtime that then lead directly to you LEAPING to JUSTIFYING Roy as DESPICABLE because he is not concerned about DISHONOURING others more DESERVING of him even though Roy as EVERYBODY knows will not get a TITLE SHOT because he ASKs for ONE. Thus Roy asking for a TITLE shot is not going to obtain a TITLE SHOT unfairly for Roy. All that it means is if another more worthy challenger pulls out of a fight with a injury late and the UFC has to SAVE the CARD when the other DUDEs wont commit to a SHORT FIGHT, well it means that Roy is telling the FANs and the UFC to bring it to him because he will give his all when he gets in that CAGE and he will expect to win even if he gets his head kicked right in. That's all. Thus whos really the DESPICABLE one in this JUDGEMENT fella ? That's right you JUDGEMENTAL *******, its YOU, but don't create DRAMA over it, I am JUDGEMENTAL as well, that's how I knew how to figure out who the one being DESPICABLE really was. Apologize to Roy and the ESB forum or DONT just don't resist this truth and then create discomfort with my next post and blame it upon ME after I already CLEARLY have just WARNED you with this POST right here now haven't I ??? :good
oh by the way, I'm totally messing around with my last post in this thread, trust me I was dying laughing typing that as it sounded so extreme I couldn't stop it, I just kept acting the part of the Roy defender, why ? Well he kinda pisses me Off, he is such a slob and he has had his head kicked in and the LACK of QUIT he shows while getting his head KICKED in is AMAZING Its ****ing BEAUTIFUL yet the guy does not give a CRAP about most everything else and lives in his individual world in so many respects that it creates JEALOUSY naturally within at least me, how much ? Not much, just enough to desire to see him get that confident grin wiped off his face like all the rest of us at one point in time or another that's all. As far as DC calling Roy out, well well well, I personally feel that DC is a very BAD MAtchH up for Roy, I feel that DC "could" make Roy look really really BAD. As in worse than anyone has to date? I don't recall Roy ever having that LOOK of not wanting to CONTINUE witch is really what I am getting at. Well personally I feel that DC could be the ONE to really do that to Roy at least a little, maybe Roy keeps mostly coming to be saved by the ref only to look more BRAVE right after the SAVING in just a small wee way OR maybe DC belts Roy so many times that we see Roy for the first time looking to the Ref for help outta the corner of his one eye that is not rolling up in his head,,, I could be wrong I am consistently without fail so much so that I count on it ahead of time and create a ongoing profit often simply via the percentages evening out as long as I wait long enough. Personally I would love to see Roy get his clock cleaned really good at least once, the way he conducts himself is DESPICABLE.
