Nah they still fight like this at this size, just not in the UFC. It is quite literally as if they no longer care about securing top prospects or genuine talent at heavyweight, or in general.
such an anomaly that guy. you think he was out of shape and lacked skills, but he one punching world class athletes and rubbing his belly on the top of the cage
К сожалению, у Роя ограниченный арсенал приёмов: стандартные удары руками (без каких-либо хитрых комбинаций), пара лоу-киков и попытка защититься от тейк-даунов.
@piotrjaczynski1697Jones is NOT the goat, he is the biggest cheater in the history of the sport. Goats dont take roids, Fedor, GSP or khabib is the real goat.
IDC what anyone else's opinion is of Roy, love him or not, NO ONE can question his effort, his commitment, nor his character. The man always gave his best, occasionally to his own detriment. He always came to fight, his drive and tenacity will always have my respect, irregardless of the outcome, this man showed up, and I will always appreciate the effort put forth by a WARRIOR, in the pursuit of victory and the purpose of paving the way forward. Mad respect Big Country. For the intangibles, for the things that don't make the scorecard. For the effort, the fire and the fight within. Appreciated Always ❤🍻
@S@SuFFoKateNu Lost me at irregardless 😂 I can’t take nobody seriously when they say that…I don’t want to be mean about it, so I’ll stop with that. The rest of the message was great though 👍
I mean you can definitely question his commitment to his weigh and over eating. I always wanted to see what he was like shredded at his full potential.
When this fight first came out, this is when the UFC was good. It’s good now, but it was good.💪🏽 Daniel Cormier😎 definitely one of my favorite fighters💯☝🏽
It's like watching two concrete bollards with endless stamina go to war to be able to keep up that pace at this weight class is truly something else these two are absolute warriors 💯👌
Peak DC right there. great movement, kicks and punches. Nelson held his own too but was obviously lower in output. I remember this fight, criminally underated for sure. respect to both for their skills and drive. 😊
Mate… The gas tank on these two is insane. Keeping that pace at over 220lbs is bonkers. Respect
Roy kept that up with a big belly too 😂
They were on juice.
Compare this to the Tuivasa vs Texiara match and it makes me depressed
@Rick-q3e and now DC have an even bigger belly 😂
@viniciussantana00💯
We were spoiled back then with these types of heavyweights
Swear
Just like old wwe 😂
Facts
Nah they still fight like this at this size, just not in the UFC. It is quite literally as if they no longer care about securing top prospects or genuine talent at heavyweight, or in general.
WEAENO IT
There is no more heavyweight fights like this.
I was just thinking the same thing! This was the golden era
Most of the comments is how sorry the HW division is rn and it’s all warranted. Idk what they need to do to fix it but smth gotta change.
@emekao500right. I just watched don Frye vs takayama. And its crazy. Its absolutely no chance to see something like this in ufc.
They should do a one off event with pride rules. That'd be fun to watch.
That's because they can't juice anymore + more micro plastics in the testes
I never realized how much zip DC has on his overhands. They're like slingshots.
Jones mentions.that tol
same thought, they seemed long ranging too given dc being built like a stubby tank
And kicks he threw a question mark kick. Prime DC was different
His dirty boxing is so violent
Those kicks were dope too.
Dc throwing crescent kicks is amazing lmao
Grown man shit right there .. respect 🫡 to both of those legends
💯
Only one legend there!
Facts
WELL STATED!!!
I forgot these two ever fought. Nelson so underrated, it's criminal!
he wasnt underrated at the time he fought, just the flood of newcomers who didnt know him think he was underrated
such an anomaly that guy. you think he was out of shape and lacked skills, but he one punching world class athletes and rubbing his belly on the top of the cage
Dana hated Roy but the man could throw down
@fubey8xwell, with all the fighters, Roy definitely gets forgotten and overlooked.
And I've been watching UFC since very first one back in early 90s
@davidneiner2133na man he had real hype even back in the day brother
This is probably the sharpest & quickest I've seen DC's hands
He was fresh out of Strikeforce here. While already 34, that is the youngest UFC version of him.
Fast Like Fedor in this fight
Also nice Kicks
Agreed. I didn't realize DC was that fast.
If you're a noob dont be lazy, watch strikeforce
And props to who ever selected the music for this clip...hypnotic!
Yeah I agree
And it actually captures the like… half trance like mode they would both have had to been in in a fight like this
Muy adecuada,sí.
Spot on 🎼👆🏽
Bring back the sponsored shorts days
Seriously!!
Big country was actually in pretty good shape for himself!!
big country is naty! but man he looks 57 not 37yo ...
The best I've ever seen him.
Facts
I don't remember him being this muscular. I just remember him being fat lol
Ага ,подсушился,живот не такой большой ,мышечная масса неплохая.
Roy Nelson is extreme strong how he stands up like nothing after getting taken down by DC is impresive
Also how eats punches and keeps pushing forward is insane
And he’s 37 years old here. Crazy
К сожалению, у Роя ограниченный арсенал приёмов: стандартные удары руками (без каких-либо хитрых комбинаций), пара лоу-киков и попытка защититься от тейк-даунов.
He didn’t stand up like it was nothing, this is highlights of the fight, not the whole
I know ..the talent he had .
I absolutely love both of these guys. Legendary fighters.
We new back then we was watchin legendary fighters
Cormier looked great in this fight, his speed, cardio, and switching of striking was on point
Cormier looked like someone’s middle school dad but actually fights 😂
He does teach at a school
@313masseya middle school too 😂
He's kinda ripped in this fight ..
So does Roy Nelson if you live out in the country!
Almost forgot about Roy. He was dangerous
Roy Nelson tenía una mandíbula resistente, le aguanto todo a DC.
Roy nelson would steamroll 90% of modern ufc heavyweights
Навряд ли..
Ikr
Nope
For sure.
No he wouldn't
And both came in on the scales looking ready!
Ok
I didn't appreciate Daniel Cormier back then cause i was young and focused on other things and fighters... Savage!!
SAME HERE 😮
DC was a beast in his prime!
Y jons lo bajo😂 así q q se diría d jons
I will say it again,230 pounds 35 years old Cormier beat anyone at Hw today.Dude was an absolute monster at that weight class.
@MarcoPerez-p9ethat was at 205lbs, DC was at his best at heavyweight, he was also alot older when he faught Jones. And Jones took roids.
Now he is barbecue beast 😂🎉
@topcore77 DC took roids all his life bro , what are you talking about lol😂
When two large icebergs collide
coke vs sprite
No 1.5 vs 1liter😂😂😂
??????
@MMAHighLight-w8e 🧐
DC is a BEAST! THe pace, the combos, the mixing just wonderful :)
And a natural wrestler.
Jon destroyed him
@derrensimoesofficial6025 ok but Jon is the GOAT. Cormier was phenomenal as well
@derrensimoesofficial6025Jones got popped for roids BOTH times after the fight. Im 100% sure dc wouldve beaten him if jones wasnt a cheater.
@piotrjaczynski1697Jones is NOT the goat, he is the biggest cheater in the history of the sport.
Goats dont take roids, Fedor, GSP or khabib is the real goat.
Excellent Fight!
Superb effort by both men!
Два моих любимчика в тяжёлом весе, спасибо за красивый бой!
Old school ❌️ Gold school ✅️
Roy had the hardest chin in history of mma
No doubt
Nope. Mark hunt does.
I would say it’s a tie between Roy Nelson and Mark Hunt
Mark hunt too
Cabbage carrera
Gostava muito do Roy nelson. Grande lutador, humilde, respeitador e de caráter...
Concordo plenamente. Também muito valente!
I love the sportsmanship, what a warrior's battle looks like, with respect & honor.
Always been a fan of both these great fighters!!! DC is a legend and Roy is the working mans champ!!
IDC what anyone else's opinion is of Roy, love him or not, NO ONE can question his effort, his commitment, nor his character. The man always gave his best, occasionally to his own detriment. He always came to fight, his drive and tenacity will always have my respect, irregardless of the outcome, this man showed up, and I will always appreciate the effort put forth by a WARRIOR, in the pursuit of victory and the purpose of paving the way forward.

How about the level of commitment into this comment 👏
@S@SuFFoKateNu Lost me at irregardless 😂 I can’t take nobody seriously when they say that…I don’t want to be mean about it, so I’ll stop with that. The rest of the message was great though 👍
I mean you can definitely question his commitment to his weigh and over eating. I always wanted to see what he was like shredded at his full potential.
Roy and Daniel are both great.
Época boa dos pesado .... hoje só pesadelo
dois titans em colisão...
por esse motivo que eu escolhi esse mundo das lutas top ..
parabéns 🎉
Рой Нельсон достойный бой дал .....И в свои года дал бы его и нынешним тяжеловесам
this is probably one of the best FIGHTS i have ever seen!
When this fight first came out, this is when the UFC was good. It’s good now, but it was good.💪🏽 Daniel Cormier😎 definitely one of my favorite fighters💯☝🏽
Roy was awesome, nobody thought he would win, including his opponents, then, there they are looking up at the ref. This was a great fight.
Love both of these two fighters!👊🏽 Definitely two legends!🙏🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
Never thought we would see Cormier throw spinning sht but here we are.
You mean there we were....that's ancient history now! Only thing DC is spinning atrhis age is pasta on his fork!!!!😂
He trained at AKA = kickbozing academy he was 34 here. He's pushing 50 now prrobably
Сказало Гавно😅😅😅😅
Are you not aware of how long ago this was ? What do you mean here we are ? Like it just happened 🤣
That was a really good matchup
Bravo à ces deux là 👏👏👏
Daniel Cormier et Roy Nelson se sont livrés une véritable guerre vraiment deux combattants remarquables et admirables 👍👍👍
Смотрел в прямом эфире, хорошая заруба была👍🔥🔥🔥
Dava gosto de ver as lutas Roy Nelson e mark hunt nos pesados eram os lutadores mais divertidos
These two dudes put on a show .. mad respect 🙏🏽 to both.
То время когда бои были по настоящему захватывающими и интригующими
Даниэль Кормье, крут как всегда, классные были бои, один из лучших всех времён!
It's like watching two concrete bollards with endless stamina go to war to be able to keep up that pace at this weight class is truly something else these two are absolute warriors 💯👌
I love watching these older fights that I've never seen 🤩
Never heard of this fight. Kind of a banger
Wow, DC in his prime and Nelson's heavy hands and surprising athleticism
É mas pegou Roy em fim de carreira. Acho que no auge os dois lutassem por exemplo com mesma idade na minha visão Roy nocautearia
@Analisedobewe will never know unfortunately
DC at heavyweight throwing head kicks is beauty
😂puros guerreros no me los imagino como padre de familia en la escuela 🎒 al verlos como viejitos.
Dc is a beast. His right hand's a grenade
220-230 pounds ish Cormier was an absolute monster.
Yeah, he looks like he was in better shape than his fights with JJ
@Mac-pluto He was not drained when he was light at HW.If it wasnt for his friend Cain,he was becoming champ at HW much earlier in his career.
Such a great fight
That was amazing! Love. Love both of those guys
Miss those legendary fights 👍👍👍
AC 4 ad and incredible fighters. What a time!
DC uno de mis peleadores favoritos, por su destreza en lucha, striking, inteligencia y agresividad
The way DC throws kicks at that weight is nutty!! What a boss!!
When cormier nearly connected with that headkick, i went "Whoa 😳" because i never expected something like that out of DC 😂
DC универсальный мастер и боксер и кикер и борец, один из лучших всех времен 👍
One of the best fights ever
When DC came to Australia and took the cfc belt. I remember that
Damn DC at heavy weight looks terrifying
Stipe has entered the chat
Good fight clip🤔👍🏽👌❤
I've never been Cormier's biggest fan but props to him for this fight, he was exceptional
It’s really sad to see the state of the heavyweight division these days
Dc had great striking.
Would’ve loved to see Big Country against the Black Beast Derek Lewis
Roy was faster and had a granite chin, I would Bet my money on Roy!
They did fight. Split decision W for Lewis
@bbetrosthanks, will have to check that out
This is the best shape I’ve even seen Big Country in that’s awesome
Definition of picking someone apart. One of Cormiers best performances.
DC is a legendary GOAT 🐐 ❤
Definitely a legend
I can say with a straight face, i never knew these legends even had a fight!😮
It’s ai
Not gonna lie.... straight up... thought that was Masvidal at first!
Grande Roy Nelson , a lenda. Daniel tbm é um excelente lutador .
Two Og's getting inside the Octagon mixing it up Respect to the both of them Legends.
Dude I didn’t even know the fought thank you for the awesome throwback I never knew existed ❤
This is lovely they are both Winners🏆
Damn DC is in sick shape back in the day. This was the change of the old guard!
How the UFC has fallen from these great fighters and great fights...
love both these guys
This was outstanding, I miss this .
I love both of these guys so much. Been watching Roy since the IFL days. Who remembers?❤
Love these guys. DC had a powerful high kick.
Heavyweights are a whole different level of fighting. Quite literally. 💪🏼👊
Verdadeira batalha 2 guerreiros!
Wow these two dogs of warriors really put on a show was so good I could've gave a damn who won great great energy fight from these vets
That fake single leg into a hook was something else, never seen someone do it that smooth before
Big Country one of my favorite fighters. 👊
The technical wrestle and clinch of DC are stunning
Os dois chutaram mais nessa luta do que em toda a carreira! Máximo respeito ao Roy Nelson!
Peak DC right there. great movement, kicks and punches. Nelson held his own too but was obviously lower in output. I remember this fight, criminally underated for sure. respect to both for their skills and drive. 😊
DC’s wrestling was unmatched
This was the fight that IF YOU WEREN’T a Roy Nelson fan you became one 😮
Roy was an absolute animal to be able to keep the fight standing. DC one of the best ever
2 big heavyweights going the distance battling the whole time end of an era
Never knew Nelson had a gas tank like that. Props to those guys for a great fight
Man, I forgot DC could move like that during his prime. That was an awesome performance.
