1. Roy Nelson

No matter how he fights on any given night you can always say of Roy Nelson “he really didn’t look good in there tonight”.  He could win via one punch knockout and still not look good in there, the guy is grotesquely out of shape.  Its as though he gives absolutely no thought towards the idea of shedding excess body fat, despite the fact that he is a professional athlete.

To his credit, Roy Nelson has given unrealistic athletic hope to fat guys all across the world through how well he has done in MMA.  At 40 however, Roy Nelson’s time is probably coming to an end sooner rather than later.

In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 90 the other night, Nelson’s strategy looked to be the old lay-and-pray technique, something judges don’t tend to respond as well to anymore.

Derrick Lewis picked up the victory, and with the loss its looking like Nelson’s days as a top ranked heavyweight are almost up.
