I wish people wouldn't post spoilers in these threads. I would neg the person who did it if I didn't stop reading immediately when I saw spoiler.
I am looking forward to this fight. If Kimbo can stay off his back he has a good chance of beating Nelson, making himself instantly credible. It is pretty obvious after the last fight that Rampage needs to get his guys working hard on cardio. Shivers looked like he was about to pass out 2 minutes into that fight.
I have a feeling that Nelson is going to take Kimbo down and finish him on the ground with either subs or GnP, but I am actually kind of hoping Kimbo can pull off the big win oddly enough. I've always liked Roy, but for some reason I kind of want Kimbo to win...probably because I had to watch Nelson get bitched out by his coaches for not being a team player for 10 minutes. I will never get that part of my life back and I want Kimbo to exact my revenge!!!! :thumb02:
I thought it was pretty funny that Roy basically referred to himself as master of mma. Thats not a direct quote, but i feel like that is essentially what he was saying. Maybe i just have a different definition then he does, but when i think of a master i think of somebody like Eddie Bravo or Rob Kamen, not a fat fighter with seventeen fights. Dont get me wrong I like Roy, but if im going to refer to any fighter as a master its going to be someone with amazing striking like Anderson Silva or a guy with perfect gameplans like Fedor.
I'm pulling for Kimbo, and so should everyone else. The way Nelson has portrayed himself on the show has been disgusting. If he loses he might have a reality check.
The last two episodes have been pathetic. Abe Wagner was a damn joke, and that fat Wrestler really didn't deserve a win. Shivs gassed out 2 minutes into the first round, and was still whooping Rashad Evan's first pick's ass...then he loses because he wasn't showing fighting spirit(only reason I can see the judges giving it to sweeny).
Lets hope Kimbo and Roy put on a good show, and that Kimbo wins because if he doesn't Rampage is down in picks until the end of the damn season which would yield very predictable outcomes.
I want Kimbo to win this fight. I definetly dont want some fat ass guy winning TUF. Yah I know hes got the experience and all but really what does he have to offer to the HW division. A gatekeeper?..Maybe. I wanna see an unknown show some skill and come in and win this and maybe become a contendor. after last nights fights I hope we see better those guys were just awful
G_Land can you takes more than one bet PLZ?! If Roy wins (even though you put up a great argument consisting of.....hmmm) you have to put this as your sig "I am a complete tool that pretends to know about MMA." And if Kimbo wins, I'll put whatever you want in my sig, dealsies?
The next good heavyweight fight on TUF will be the first. I will watch this season for Page and Kimbo no matter what but the heavyweight fights are boring. Ill take the 55lbers all day.
Any and everyone discrediting Roy Nelson in the slightest bit is a FORKING MORON! Plain and simple I urge all of you to take CornBread's sig bet because I would love to see you all wwearing whatever he wants after next week.
Sure Kimbo has a punchers chance but so does my sister at the end of the day. Roy will outclass Kimbo everywhere and probably either grind him out on the ground for a decision or sub him in the 2nd round.
Why is everyone loving Kimbo all of a sudden? I don't hate him, but he seems to have a lot more fans then he did a week ago.
I am a fan of Roy nelson and hope he wins but I have a feeling he loses, we will see.
So far I think only Roy Nelson has what it takes to be some type of decent fighter in the UFC heavyweight division. Kimbo might get PPV buys and maybe Wes Sims too, we will find out after the season.
I think we're being too harsh on the heavys......
we haven't seen most of them, a few of these are prospects im interested in.
Wes Shivers could be alrite somewhere down the line, get in shape and experience, I mean he does have 0 career fights.
As an MMA enthusiast, I'm well aware of Nelson and his accomplishments. However, someone being that overweight winning TUF is laughable to the ordinary fight fan.
Never been much of a fan of Kimbo but his attitude going into this fight seems pretty good. He has actually impressed me. Roy Nelson has seemed too arrogant to me. Like TUF is just going to be given to him. I also dont like Evans so I am cheering for Kimbo.
I don't think that Roy is being arrogant I think he is bitter at having to try and make it into the UFC through the Ultimate Fighter when he has accomplished alot and rightfully should be able to get a contract through that alone.
I REEEEEEEEEEALLLLLLLLYYYYY hope roy owns this fight. ive gotten more respect for kimbo over time but roys the man. i met him and kenny in scottdale a summer ago and he was a pretty humble guy(as was ken suprisingly) which made me like him more.
Kimbo woulda whooped his ass standing up. Nelson won and thats the bottom line. But his performance was very very lackluster. He is probably doing it the smart way though. Get to the finals without ever fighting hard.
It was a very disappointing fight, Kimbo got caught twice in the same position. But I must say it must be kind of "freaky" to get all that blob on top of you.
Yes i agree, they sold the hell out of Kimbo and that fight SUCKED. Not a good matchup at all. Kimbo had nothing on the ground at all, and Nelson wasnt nearly as good with his hands as I thought. At the 3:05 minute mark of the first round Nelson knew for sure he didnt want to keep standing.
If Nelson would've won, and realized his win was such a mediocre win, especially for a former IFL champion, Dana wouldn't have bashed him. But, after the fight, Nelson walked over to Dana and started running his mouth. :sarcastic12:
whats there to like in that performance what a lazy way to win. i seen him fight in the IFL as well and well his performance just is not there for a seasoned and experienced fighter.
