Roy Nelson a Force in the UFC

roy-nelson-belly-rubTonight at Fight Night 21, TUF 10 winner Roy Nelson showed everyone why he has been in the game as long as he has.  Nelson faced off against 6’11 Stefan Struve who’s been known to dominate his fights, but tonight was a different story.

Nelson and Struve came out swinging, but not even 40 seconds in, Nelson caught Struve with a clean right hook and that was the end of the game.  After a barrage of punches on the ground, Nelson was pulled off, and Struve sat there blood gushing from his nose.

Nelson has said that he wants to take on the elite fighters in the heavyweight division, and on Wednesday night he looked like he’s capable of it. At six feet and a blubbery 265 pounds, Nelson doesn’t look like much of an athlete, but the guy can fight.

“I think getting by Stefan puts me right in the title hunt,” Nelson said afterward. Nelson also said he’d be interested in fighting James Toney.

Nelson improved his record to 15-4. Struve falls to 19-4.

On a side note the fight was postponed due to a power surge inside the arena.
