He's not the best fighter around, but damn I always enjoy watching him fight. He's one of the toughest mother****ers in the sport. He's always aggressive. He always gives his best and tries to win, even if his only chance is a hail mary punch. And he has worked hard to improve his physical conditioning. Who else enjoys Big Country, and is always happy to see his name in the middle of a card? :hat
I love the respectful fans we have here. On half a dozen threads, Condit is getting abused and ridiculed for daring to fight a smart fight that maximised his chance of victory, and coming away with the interim belt (plus snapping an 11 fight win streak) because of his plan and the way he stuck to it. And on this thread, blood and guts warrior Roy Nelson gets mocked and ridiculed because guys like Werdum, Mir and Junior ****ing dos Santos beat the living **** out of him and fail to stop him when he stands right in front of them trying to KO them for every minute of every round. atsch :hat
I actually like and respect Roy Nelson, He is one of the toughest guys in the sport. However, that doesn't change the fact that in three of his last five fights, he basically fought like Homer Simpson.
yep. too many ****ing idiots. 95% of them have never had the balls to get in a ring and spar, let alone actually fight!
Nelson is a fine pro who's been swimming in too deep a water for awhile. I'd imagine once he gets back to fighting the likes of Kongo, Barry, Struve he'll find success again. Good not great fighter.
