Anyone else expected him to have a southern accent
Yea
Totally, seems like a nice chap
definitely, i mean his nickname is big country lol
Hope Roy never suffers any pugilistica.
The blows that man has absorbed and kept on moving forward would kill a regular human on the spot.
How he was still standing after De Santos has got me fucked.
My favourite fighter too
Fan from Far East
i think for big country over in the middle east in america style would be.. id be dropping bombs XD
anyone else see that massive dog?😶
Roy Nelson is awesome, he makes ufc fun to watch.
+Ethan Ramsell Oh hell yea! Wonder if you saw his video "roy nelson born in the usa"
+Jerry Loose naw never heard of it. I'll definitely check it out.
he has the same kind of spirit as frank mir, not arrogant , funny , not a man who wants to look tough and with a scary stairdown..
this man comes to fight and fight only , such a great rock hard fighter
what i like about roy is he definitely isnt a juicing cheater like 95% of the sport hes honest and just gets it done
How do you know he's not juicing?
I can't think of a cool name lol you do know if you take steroids you won’t magically look like brock lesnar 😂 I deffo think Roy is natural but to say you will look like brock is naive
I can’t think of a cool name. He wouldn’t magically lose the fat from gear. He would gain some muscle though.
@@icantthinkofacoolname1308 I don't think you know a damn thing about steroids & PEDs.
@@hammeringhank5271 he tested positive before
Say what you want about Big Country, but the man can knock people the fuck out. Always entertaining too.
Roy is one of my all time favourite fighters. He's brutal in the octagon, but he's a really nice bloke outside the UFC
My favorite fighter in UFC
Mine to with Mark hunt. So correct and respectful but also so explosive and powerful
He got exactly a Body like a Gladiator in Roman Arena-Fights had and nobody knows, but it's a Fact. They ate Humus, Beans and other Carbohydrate Food so they became Big and that saved them from losing too much blood when they get stabbed or cut. So Nobody should laugh about his Belly.
that's a real fact!
Check out that beast in the back at 2:45
+thebarrochannel fuckin horse
Was that Brock Lesnar?
The dog?
Hell Yeah Roy Nelson! Fightland rules.
1:34 ahahaah when the fuk have you ever been the smaller guy lol nelson and hunt are awesome
Roy looks like Opie from Sons of Anarchy
Julian Ng a lil
Hope he doesn't meet the same end!
You got bullied for being the smaller kid, you can definitely not be bullied from being the smaller guy now lol.
You can still be small and fat
@@AxelArmentaMMA Obviously man, but the comment was saying Roy isn't a "small kid" anymore for people to pick on lol
"i'm droppin bombs" lol
Is one of the american fighters that i like the most.
With the amount of talent he has i just wonder how crazy would be if the had a better mindset and being more serious about his career. (i say that based on what he tells on his interviews, seems to don't worry much about certain aspects)
Fun fact. Roy has 38 fights and he has NEVER been submitted(15 losses)
Free Bee that is impressive
Roy Nelson is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time!
I’m a boxing fan and no nothing about ufc, but if there was ever a case of don’t judge a book by its cover, this mans it, respect
Good man good fighter. Helps UFC crossover to casual fans
Can anybody confirm if Roy Nelson body type really just comes down to genetics. I'm thinking about it, even if he didn't watch his weight control he should still look more ripped to fight with amount of power he has.
He just has poor diet
how he looks is both training/diet and genetics. he could slim down some but you can't control where you lose fat. sit ups don't make your have a flat stomach like the commercials say. If he got his fat percentage to go down to what a regular fighter looks like then he would be probably two weight classes lower maybe more. He wouldn't gain that much speed though. Genetically we all have a pretty much set hand/eye coordination its only going to fluctuate a little bit when weight is taken off. So, he's probably way,way, way to slow to fight at a lower weight class.
So he's better off in heavy weight where the talent is much lower. It's much lower because there's less large people and so there's less chances of good athletes, much less chances of great athletes and so forth. this is why the best fighters are average human size. it's a little lower because they cut so much weight but you get the idea.
just to go on rambling...people are born good punchers or they are not. it's in there with hand/eye coordination. BUT!! unlike speed, punching and taking punches is dramatically effected by the weight of the person, no matter where the weight is. if it's on the stomach, if it's fat on the arms..doesn't matter. this is why it's a big deal when guys come in 10 pounds over weight. This is why there is so little weight between weight classes. 5 extra pounds means throwing harder punches and taking harder shots. Yes, again there is some speed sacrifice but it's not as crucial. Again, that's why making weight is so important and why there's so many weight classes. if there was no weight classes many fighters couldn't take the punch of heavier men and the speed differential would only make enough difference. So if big country lost a bunch of weight but still was in heavy weight he would not have as much power and not be able to take as big of a punch. bad news. and he probably can't gain much more muscle mass without taking roids....so he keeps the fat and lives the good life.
Getting 'ripped', being toned, being able to see muscles, is not about having muscles or being strong, it's about having a very low fat percentage. But it's also hard to get a that fat percentage really low while still maintaining muscle. the body uses muscle for calories before it uses fat. That's why guys get phd's in nutrition and body building and they still argue and change views on what's best.
Protoman It's just bad diet. Roy used to be a lot skinnier if you watch some of his older grappling matches. Fighters are ripped because they put the work in and watch their diet. Genetics only comes in to play at determining what weight class you will fight at when you are at your best. If Roy lost weight he'd be an even better fighter. I definitely think Roy will be a name to remember.
He's never going to be shredded but he needs to carry the weight otherwise he'll be the small guy in that division
***** Says the anonymous zilch on youtube. Keep bagging groceries and keep your insolent mouth shut about humans who are orders of magnitude superior to you.
One of the most fun fighters to watch.
its interessting how many MMA Fighters get bullyed in theit Childhood. And now they are the Best Fighters. Like Conor and Roy.
Did Conor got bullied?!
I'll bullshit aside This man should have never been forced to seek employment elsewhere. He had a good SOLID fanbase at the UFC. DANA has made it clear, bad haircuts R walking backwards in the sport & casual physique is also frowned upon.
Honestly, dana had to that many americans liked roy for his physique
He looks good! I wonder if we'll see him at 205...
205 Big Macs is the only 205 in his future.
Here's some advice if you're a bully; Don't pick on Roy Nelson's son, you'll be fucked.
1:58 lol his Arm is bigger than my Leg.
Roy Nelson vs Tank Abbott (Fantasy Match up)
not even comparable. KO power could be comparable when Tank was in his prime. On the ground its not even a fair fight
maxjiro25 Think you're missing the point. RN will go to the ground if he has to. If Tank from the 90's and Roy had to fight it would've made for an interesting slugfest
well,I think you're wrong, just look at the fight with Kimbo during TUF. Kimbo was seen as a street fighting banger and what happened ? RN mounted crucifix and punched him until the ref stopped the fight while Kimbo was clueless. Make no mistake about it, tank would of ended up on his back and most likely submited
2:20 stipe been fuckin shit up
why doesnt he lose weight man cmon jesus.
Alberturkey54 Cus having a large gut has alot of advantages in fighting.
How is it possible to be that active and workout all the time. But be that fat, i see hes lost alot of weight but Roy is probably like a middleweight under all that fat. His skills are amazing 👏.
Backwards name it should be Nelson Jackson
Never was fighting fan but roy nelson has always been my favorited fighter in mmarts....
Big Country droppin bombs!
that guy is my hero...
I love the instrumental beat in the beginning sound like a mix of country and Asian beat...anyone know the name of the beat???
do shazam
He's baby is so cute.
OMG the last thing said didn't sound good in context. Big country in the Middle East American style dropping bombs. All the times the USA went to war and shit.
baby clearly did not like those backraises...that was kind of disturbing
2:48 you train vs dogs? that is the secret eh?
One of my favorite fighters.
Always thought of big country as an Old looking guy, but seeing this interview, it seems as if his head is from another person and his body is that of a 55 yr old man.
why he doesnt maintains his body
samaksh rai - in order to throw powerfull hit. He got muscle, but he also use his body weight in his blow
A good man.
Im 12 and i have roy as a an idol i get bullied some times I show them I can fight and they get beat up by me and I show them that om not det kinda guy that give up in the first place

What kind of accent is that?
феномен... так легко запрыгнул на сетку с таким то мамоном
Love big country!
Gotta love BC 👊👊👊
I like the BGM in the beginning
Roy Nelson is an awesome fighter and one of my favorites to watch. I am a big fan of him. However, I don't think anyone believes Roy Nelson will be splitting the atom anytime soon. LOL "In other major-league sports you have to be over .500 to be phenomenal, in our sport you have to be in the 90th percentile." Where to begin w/an off base statement like that? Somebody needs to explain to Roy that .500 doesn't literally mean 50%. It's a metric to measure a particular statistic and if a player is over .500, they ARE in the in the 90%+ percentile. Its not like other pro athletes are only in the top 50%. LOL I will agree that fighting at the highest level is the toughest sport in the world, the repercussions for loosing are brutal, it is only you against your opponent, and it is a worldwide sport. But, it doesn't change the fact that every professional athlete competing at the highest level of their particular sport are in the 90% plus percentile.
He's a World class athlete, even with his, "shape," lol but if he didn't have that Right, he'd have to drop some weight to stay within his percentile, because he'd be fighting at the top of the next class down, instead of being such an underachiever.
If he could get down closer to 200lb or better yet 185lb, he would definitely get more sponsorships instead of just being an anomaly, or, "show," fighter getting lucky against heavyweights, like Butterbean.
Remarkable guy.
Meditation training.
i never saw that doing to kids before 1:55 , interesting... hmmm
hip hinge
mola el vídeo
all time favorite
Legenda !
Belly power
Great guy!
That "exercise" he did with my kid made me cringe, if you wanna make a fighter try not to write off his back in the preteen years ... entertaining fighter though
Relax, kids at this age has fascinating ability (muscle tonus > weight of their body). They can even squat on one leg, if you help them to balance.
edgars112233 kids shouldn't be strength training.
He’s so awesome
Lol hes cool as shit
