Audio quality is a little suspect, but CJ is everywhere! It was pretty funny that the guy with the biggest belly was the guy with the best cardio in the house. All the guys with abs were gassing while Roy Nelson was winning the show. Thanks to Justin for participating in The Ultimate Fighter conference call.

Roy Nelson is a horrible matchup for Kimbo Slice.  He is an IFL champion. He had Andrei Arlovski dead to rights.  If it wasn’t for a bogus stand up in the Shaw families shame of a promotion he might already be in the UFC.  He is a BJJ blackbelt and is an excellent grappler.  None of that bodes well for Slice.  

That is the very reason that it’s a great fight for Kimbo.  If he wins, or even goes to a decision with Nelson, he should achieve instant credibility with skeptical MMA fans.  It will also give the UFC an excuse to book Slice for a pay per view which win, lose or draw would definitely financially benefit both parties.

The fact that this fight is free on Spike TV is a credit to not only Slice, but Dana White and the UFC.  It took balls for Slice to walk into this house knowing the bullseye that would be placed on his back and knowing that he would face fighters like Big Country.  It also takes balls by White to do business with Kimbo, knowing what the reaction would be from the MMA hard cores.  I don’ t want to make any predictions, save one.  This will be a record night for The Ultimate Fighter, Spike TV and in all likelyhood, cable television.

Last year I had a chance to catch up with Roy Nelson after his Elite XC fight against the Pitbull.  He spoke on fighting Kimbo even back then.  It’s worth a listen if I do say so myself.  Check it out by clicking HERE.

Dude is one of my favorite fighters. If you haven’t, read who he wants to sponsor him.  Roy is fast as shit, tough as shit and he loves fast food.  How the hell do you not like that?
