Mike Goldberg is such a tool and Rogan is the hand that turns him counter clockwise….
Another fight where 2 world class Jiu Jitsu fighters stand up and box the whole time. Roy, why didn’t you take him down and put that big gut on him?
Your right Brain, Roy only needs to lay on his face Werdum would have to go to sleep.
Roy nelson is a bad a*s like joe said hes a tank that went three rounds with dos santos enough said.
It dont take a “bad a*s” to stand and get hit in the face over and over, it takes a retard….So what you can take a good punch, you still get smashed.
Roy did not look too bad to me… One tuff guy. Just needs more conditioning.
Great performance by Werdum. Rafael Cordiero has done wonders for his striking.
lol @ Goldberg calling Fedor a myth. I don’t think he knows what myth means. Zues is a myth. Fedor winning 31 straight for 10 years is fact.
the myth was that fedor is unbeatable and that he is the greatest of all time.even in his prime cannot compete with the new talent coming through or even current top fighters.he could never ever be at the top of the mma world again.
You can say that about any retired boxer, “O, against the new up n coming fighters he would never win”. The fact is that at his prime he dominated all the new “up n coming” fighters…We can only comment on the opposition he faced while he was fighting..n clearly he was the best. Naturally hes aging but that doesn’t diminish his accomplishments. For example you cant compare Mohammed Ali to Lenox Lewis n decide who’d win cuz the sport was different n the challengers were different. So you cant compare Fedor to the new “up n coming” fighters…
WTF is Roy Nelson’s chin made out of??
