Interesting but not surprising, his careers winding down and dana white has never liked the guy, personally I'm not a fan of his, not for his fighting because he's tough and has good ko power but just something about him rubs me the wrong way and I think he got off to lightly for kicking the referee after his Bigfoot win.

But it'll be interesting to see him in bellator.

I wonder sometimes how much of a beast he could have been at 205.

I first saw Roy Nelson in the IFL. I liked that model, and it's a shame it didn't last. The events felt a lot like a collegiate wrestling meet, with each team putting up a single fighter at each weight class.

IIRC, they did some interesting things with salaries, insurance and such that I think are very much needed in the UFC.

Looking forward to seeing Roy in Bellator. I think he boosts their heavyweight class overall.
Only fight I can really think of that's interesting to me for him is against fedor if he keeps fighting after he fights mittrione

I kind've doubt Fedor will continue fighting. I also don't like his chances with Mitrione at this point. Roy still has skills and can bang with all but the top of the top heavyweights in the world.

Well mittrione has never exactly been a world beater either. His biggest win really was against kimbo. I think if fedor wins he'll carry on if not he retires I don't know about fedor. He's spent most of his career in Japan and I have serious doubts about Japanese mma legitimacy in regards to not fixing matches
