i wanna see NELSON VS JDS II in the future. because i tell you man Roy's boxing improved over the past years, he has more accuracy, better footwork and headmovement than before. It would be awesome to see those heavy punchers battle it out again.
Heavy handed, and usual win for Big Country. His formula is so easy. Unless you are one of the very few elite, you won't get past him. He grows his beard to the ground, eats whatever offense comes at him, walks through, and repeatedly winds up his overhand right, and throws it until his opponents drops, or his stamina gives out.
I would like to see Roy get a fight in the top 4 then after that get a shot at the belt. He has awesome power and he is always pushing forward don't matter what round, I like his fights. After Werdum vs Brown the rankings will change up a bit be interesting to see the future if the heavyweight division.
I'm brazilian and I agree with that, most fighters from Team Nogueira always, I really mean, ALWAYS have some excuses to say after they lose; is that so hard to say that the other guy has punched you right in the face? Big Foot is still crying saying that Cain hit the back of his head, oh come on....
If Big Country vs The Super Samoan never happens I'm going to be mentally scarred for life. Make that fight happen Dana White, we all wanna see that shit!!!!!
Big Nog should've retired! I'm such a HUGE fan of Big Nog and his Blackhouse team, but I saw this coming when I saw him at the weigh ins. He was fat... I've always seen him with at least a 4-pack of abs but this fight he didn't have an packs... proves he wasn't well conditioned. Second, walking out.... yes he did have Arona in his corner but he didn't have his posse... where was Lil Nog? Where was Anderson? Where was Machida? His corner looked LACKING. He should retire, I don't wanna see another great to get bashed until he finally comes to his senses like Liddell.
Big Nog represents Team Nogueira along with his brother and other some fighters on UFC. Lil Nog is all fucked up, always making surgeries and shit. He makes one fight in almost every 2 years, that's a long time, he should retire with his brother as well.
imcnblu Dan Henderson: 41 fights, 14 KO's (8 of which were TKO's) and 14 decision victories with 2 subs. Roy Nelson: 29 fights, 13 KO's (8 of which were TKO's) and 2 decision victories with 5 subs. Roy nelson is the far more active finisher, and has a higher percentage of stoppages and more actual KO's. I love me some Dan Henderson, but Roy Nelson hits harder, period. No one can turn a fight in one punch like he can.
Nogueira is such a legend that he sticks his chin out with hands down against a man with sledge hammers for hands. Doesn't sound like a very good idea.
Big Nog is a way big well rounded than Nelson; it's not question of age, it's about the time the man has been stood in the game; Big Nog should retire or at least win against some non expressive opponent and finish his carrer, he was awesome, to see him like this is kind of sad.
Big props to "Big Country" for another highlight reel knockout. As for Big Nog, he's one of the greatest of all time, but he's also human. He's got a lot of miles on his body and has taken a ton of punishment over the years. It's time for him to hang up the gloves.
I dont understand how you go through an 8 week fight camp yet keeping your left hand up isnt embedded in your mind when fighting a guy who only throws right hands. Its one thing if it he got caught once but right from the start he was being hit by it, its frustrating when a knockout like this is completely avoidable
Kyle King Look at the fights where their opponents specifically set up a gameplan to avoid it. Frank mir, Lyoto, Cormier, SHields. Once they neutralized the right hand, it was a one sided victory. What people like Shogun and Mitrione did wrong was stand toe to toe with them. Although Shogun had that last fight and im still hating the outcome of it
***** Plus Roy isn't a great boxer like Hendo. Hendo still has striking abilities outside of the H-Bomb. But Roy has a lacking set of striking skills. Look at how he fought Stipe Miawesome... Stipe completely outboxed him and did it comfortably. Big Nog USED to have boxing comparable to JDS and high level fighters, not any more though. You can see it in the weigh ins and during the walk out with his team. You can tell he wasn't motivated for this fight or in the proper physical shape.
I thought the same thing when I watched the replay. His left was down. At that point he was already wobbled twice so you can probably attribute that. I would have to watch it again but Roy got in a good left or two to setup the right. Once he had him half out he went for a slight feint and shot for his money hand.
Nogueira's a legend, he should definitely rerire now though. Jesus Christ what a right hand, that's the 1st time Nogueira's been actually completely knocked out cold.
I agree, Nog needs to retire. I don't care how many fights are left on his UFC contract. Nog was once a take down artist, a true shoot fighter. Now he just stands there trying to turn every one of his fights into a boxing match. I will always remember his true form as a Pride Fighter.
What could Nogueira have done differently during that exchange? Was his jab too slow? Did he not see Nelson winding up? Was he too relaxed to react in time? Just trying to understand why he lost.
Damn Roy has gotten slimmer everg fight over the last few years. He is looking pretty good. He can beat anyone because Roy puts guys to sleep. If he lands that punch your night will end. Dangerous challenger.
Dan Hardy sure gets talkative as the interviewer in these post-fight interviews. No disrespect intended, but I think he's still got a bit to learn in that regard. Great win from Big Country, though!
people under estimate Roy Nelson. But I have to admit, I am very impressed by Roy. here is a guy that saids: fuck it give me the roast pork. Im eating good Oh and Screw you's all who think im fat.. well for the record this is one guy you dont want to get hit by his lethal weapon, his Kick ass Right hand. lol.. awesome.
Nogueira in his prime took many many beatings and came back and beat his opponents. If Roy fought Big Nog in his prime, he would just run out of ideas on how to KO Nogueira. Nogueira had never been KO'ed in his peak.
Some one has to tell Nog it's over. The ufc is just using him to built fighters rep. Roy is good but the young Nog would of giving him a lot of problems if not dominate him.
WOW! I love the way dan hardy interviews those fighters!
MrMustard1993 He's really doing great, isn't he?
he's trash lol
Mark Hunt vs Roy Nelson, make it happen Dana!
We're begging! Please Dana!
been saying it for the last year!! make it happen
it should be a sumo wrestling match.
I agree that fight would be fucking awsome.
that fight is on.
Lol I was gonna say the Brazil crowd is acting very respectable but their in Abu Dhabi lol
Dan Hardy is getting better every time.
i wanna see NELSON VS JDS II in the future. because i tell you man Roy's boxing improved over the past years, he has more accuracy, better footwork and headmovement than before. It would be awesome to see those heavy punchers battle it out again.
Great fight Roy.
-Chael P. Sonnen
***** WTF lol
your wife is hot
Chael Penis. Sonnen
Man I had a feeling that it will not go well for Nogueira. When he walked out he kind of looked lost. Sad to see him getting dominated like that.
Abu Dhabi crowd sounds awesome!
The crowds overseas are generally better.
The power is in the belly!
belly of da beast
1:24 paused. Put at .25 speed. This is Roy Nelson telling us the story when he is Drunk nowadays.
knockout of the year so far
I want to see Roy Nelson vs Mark Hunt. Make it happen.
That actually sounds like it could be interesting to see.
Heavy handed, and usual win for Big Country. His formula is so easy. Unless you are one of the very few elite, you won't get past him. He grows his beard to the ground, eats whatever offense comes at him, walks through, and repeatedly winds up his overhand right, and throws it until his opponents drops, or his stamina gives out.
Was Stipe the elite ? Made Roy Nelson look very one dimensional pluss even Frank Mur beat him at grappling. Now thats some shit !
Maybe elite was a bit extreme. But, yes he is one dimensional. It just takes a set of tools to keep him off of you effectively.
I would like to see Roy get a fight in the top 4 then after that get a shot at the belt. He has awesome power and he is always pushing forward don't matter what round, I like his fights. After Werdum vs Brown the rankings will change up a bit be interesting to see the future if the heavyweight division.
sucked to see big nog get ko'd that like, A long and legendary career i believe has come to an end
agreed he doesnt have anything left to prove.
KO of the year potential? Also, Nelson vs Hunt!
Nelson vs Hunto or Overroids
I'm glad to see Dan Hardy doing the octagon interview.
Sad to see big Nog get laid out cold like that.
Cmon Nog. My dead grandma saw that comming
I laugh hard when I saw that comment.
Mark Hunt would separate Roy Nelsons head from his body
Lets not forget Big Nog is basically blind in one eye and has partial sight in the other!
Big foot vs Nelson or hunt vs nelson. make it happen Dana.
People saying Nog should retire need to shutup. Nog will retire when he and his team are ready. Nog is a legend, the only true Pride and UFC champion.
Dan hardy is a good post interviewer... he should definitely do more interviews after fights... good job dan!!
I wonder what excuse Big Nog is going to come up with.
That has turned into a legitimate game to guess with Brazilian fighters.
I'm brazilian and I agree with that, most fighters from Team Nogueira always, I really mean, ALWAYS have some excuses to say after they lose; is that so hard to say that the other guy has punched you right in the face? Big Foot is still crying saying that Cain hit the back of his head, oh come on....
come to abu dhabi with khabib!!
If Big Country vs The Super Samoan never happens I'm going to be mentally scarred for life. Make that fight happen Dana White, we all wanna see that shit!!!!!
GO ROY NELSON BORN IN THE USA
Roy Nelson vs Cain Velazquez ;D
Lol Cain would destroy him
no chance for roy there
he needs hunt or barnett
get real bro
The Mark But it would be very curious. XD
Big Nog should've retired! I'm such a HUGE fan of Big Nog and his Blackhouse team, but I saw this coming when I saw him at the weigh ins. He was fat... I've always seen him with at least a 4-pack of abs but this fight he didn't have an packs... proves he wasn't well conditioned.

He should retire, I don't wanna see another great to get bashed until he finally comes to his senses like Liddell.
i see him ending up like couture, liddell and tito
Big Nog represents Team Nogueira along with his brother and other some fighters on UFC.
Lil Nog is all fucked up, always making surgeries and shit. He makes one fight in almost every 2 years, that's a long time, he should retire with his brother as well.
Dan hardys doing an awesome job on the mic didnt think hed be that sort of guy keep it up outlaw
Nelson is the hardest puncher in MMA
You spelled Dan Henderson wrong. You made it look like Nelson. It's okay, though. I don't mind helping out.
I think Mark Hunt would disagree.
imcnblu Dan Henderson: 41 fights, 14 KO's (8 of which were TKO's) and 14 decision victories with 2 subs. Roy Nelson: 29 fights, 13 KO's (8 of which were TKO's) and 2 decision victories with 5 subs. Roy nelson is the far more active finisher, and has a higher percentage of stoppages and more actual KO's. I love me some Dan Henderson, but Roy Nelson hits harder, period. No one can turn a fight in one punch like he can.
JDS and Shogun are the hardest punchers in MMA.
Mark Hunt and Rumble are.
i hate to see noguiera go down like that! He's still a legend!
Nogueira is such a legend that he sticks his chin out with hands down against a man with sledge hammers for hands. Doesn't sound like a very good idea.
Give him Josh Barnett or Mark Hunt
His right hand is a gift from god.
Lol.. Roy said he was ready to go 5 rounds and push the pace.. Lmao!!
I need to work on my prediction skills lol
this fight was too easy to call
Big Nog needs to let go and retire, the man is a legend he has nothing more to prove to these young guys.
Nelson is 38 years old
Big Nog is a way big well rounded than Nelson; it's not question of age, it's about the time the man has been stood in the game;
Big Nog should retire or at least win against some non expressive opponent and finish his carrer, he was awesome, to see him like this is kind of sad.
Called it...
Big Mac Country!
Nelson vs Bigfoot or hunt!!
That was a beautiful KO, but damn I hate to see Big Nog get KO'ed...he should just retire....
Everyone keeps calling big nog old but he and big country have the same age... Both are 37 years old!
Roy Nelson vs Mark Hunt
Nelson vs Hunt!
i know dana hates roy but give this man another title shot holy fuck that was beautiful.
Roy nelson vs alistair overeem or mark hunt!
Big props to "Big Country" for another highlight reel knockout. As for Big Nog, he's one of the greatest of all time, but he's also human. He's got a lot of miles on his body and has taken a ton of punishment over the years. It's time for him to hang up the gloves.

Its one thing if it he got caught once but right from the start he was being hit by it, its frustrating when a knockout like this is completely avoidable
not avoidable fighting roy nelson thats the beauty of it..kind of like dan henderson everyone knows its coming but can't defend it
Kyle King Look at the fights where their opponents specifically set up a gameplan to avoid it. Frank mir, Lyoto, Cormier, SHields. Once they neutralized the right hand, it was a one sided victory. What people like Shogun and Mitrione did wrong was stand toe to toe with them. Although Shogun had that last fight and im still hating the outcome of it

***** says the guy who spells *retarded wrong...
I thought the same thing when I watched the replay. His left was down. At that point he was already wobbled twice so you can probably attribute that. I would have to watch it again but Roy got in a good left or two to setup the right. Once he had him half out he went for a slight feint and shot for his money hand.
roy nelson vs mark hunt
Hunt vs Nelson!!!!!
easy one for roy
Why in a small arena
Nogueira's a legend, he should definitely rerire now though. Jesus Christ what a right hand, that's the 1st time Nogueira's been actually completely knocked out cold.
Gahhh!! That was a beautiful knock out! Very nice!
dan hardy :)
Kokainuser so is he like retired from fighting now?
TheColonelAngel not sure if it's official but he has some kind of heart condition
Roy burger king Nelson
I like how roy finally learned how to uppercut so he has 2 punches he throws now
I think Nogueria was out 3 times in that fight, that punch from Big Country is unreal.
I agree, Nog needs to retire. I don't care how many fights are left on his UFC contract. Nog was once a take down artist, a true shoot fighter. Now he just stands there trying to turn every one of his fights into a boxing match. I will always remember his true form as a Pride Fighter.
Yesssss!
Hunt vs Nelson
Nelson Octagon>>>>Wing Chun !
nelson vs murk hunt nelson vs big fott silva is godd fight
Damn boy,he really send him bk to Brazil first class with that punch...lol.ROY "911" NELSON..
This guy is like Butter Bean, if he touch u LA LA
wtf is dan hardy doing in the mic.....
He does the international events, this was Abu Dhabi.
Told ya....
What could Nogueira have done differently during that exchange? Was his jab too slow? Did he not see Nelson winding up? Was he too relaxed to react in time? Just trying to understand why he lost.
I think it is safe to say Nogueria should consider retirement. No fighter should be taking damage like that young or old.
Dan Hardy is no Joe Rogan
You can hear Roy wheezing and snorting as he breathes lol
Damn Roy has gotten slimmer everg fight over the last few years. He is looking pretty good. He can beat anyone because Roy puts guys to sleep. If he lands that punch your night will end. Dangerous challenger.
He can beat anyone... LOL
Dana should buy him an XBox One and the new UFC game.
That way Big Nog can fight whoever he wants, whenever he wants, for as long as he wants.
SSHHHHIIIIITTT!!! That was an awsome ko!!
Damn that was brutal.
Dan Hardy sure gets talkative as the interviewer in these post-fight interviews. No disrespect intended, but I think he's still got a bit to learn in that regard. Great win from Big Country, though!
"thank you, thanks for coming" lol
i wish roy would move down to 205 light heavyweight and rock that world
Big Country knows when to say night night, bing!
Is he snoring with every breathe??? Anyways respect... That right hand is vicious
This fight was a bad stoppage Nog was still clearly on his five senses!
Is Dan Hardy still fighting?
I think they found out he had a heart condition that in rare cases could kill, I don't think they'll allow him to fight after that, in the UFC anyway.
He doesn't do too bad on the mic
Damn That Shit's Fucked Up UFC Matched Um Cuz They Knew 100% Sure Nog Was Getting Ko'd
He's looking much slimmer than usual time to start eating burgers again. That's not the roy nelson we know
Give him a title shot!!! #bigcountry
Easy 1st Round KO. So predictable. Nelson vs Hunt. Nog vs. Mir 3.
Nog's done. Dude got nothing left to give or accomplish. Got mad respect for him but don't wanna see this happen to him anymore.
The baddest white man on the planet
Where is Travis Browne? Isn't he white man?
werdum9405 WTF?
werdum9405 he's from hawaii, idk if hes hawaiin though he could be a white
werdum9405 He is native, just like Cain is...
people under estimate Roy Nelson. But I have to admit, I am very impressed by Roy. here is a guy that saids: fuck it give me the roast pork. Im eating good Oh and Screw you's all who think im fat.. well for the record this is one guy you dont want to get hit by his lethal weapon, his Kick ass Right hand. lol.. awesome.
Hardy is doing a great job commentating... Let him host the post fight press conference as well, that other guy is a bore.
Nogueira in his prime took many many beatings and came back and beat his opponents. If Roy fought Big Nog in his prime, he would just run out of ideas on how to KO Nogueira. Nogueira had never been KO'ed in his peak.
I liked him as a fighter but Dan Hardy seems so awkward and out of place when he does interviews like this.
fuck great shot roy
Thank u x coming.. haha.
Danng! Big Country Rematch Against Stipe!
I rather see Roy Nelson vs Daniel Cormier. I think Big Country would knock his fucking head off and I can't wait
Already happened dumbass...
lol they already fought & Cormier dominated Nelson with brutal... hugging?
menelaus is back!!
Some one has to tell Nog it's over. The ufc is just using him to built fighters rep. Roy is good but the young Nog would of giving him a lot of problems if not dominate him.
