Source: Roy Nelson promises a "show" if given rematch against Junior dos Santos
what? lol
Sal Penis -
But thats what happens when JDS fights a legit striker. It's too bad cropcop lost the fire, otherwise he would have headkicked JDS into bolivia.
Yep, I couldn't agree more. Pride CroCop would have beaten JDS that night.
I just find it amazing CroCop got KO by just about everyone, but JDS struggle against him in that bout.
Roy Nelson vs Daniel Cormier would be a great fight.
or
Roy Nelson vs Josh Barnett.
Give Nelson a Mir rematch.
MMALOGIC -Roy Nelson vs Daniel Cormier would be a great fight.

Nice possibilities there.
Lol at JDS having a hard time vs anyone thus far lololol!
ABE FROMAN -
Give Nelson a Mir rematch.
I second this idea.
Didn't JDS himself say that Roy Nelson was his toughest fight to date?
I'd like to see them fight again.
Nelson is finally working on his boxing which apparently he is still new to. They could actually have a decent fight sooner or later...
It is not a good time to be Roy Nelson. He is a guy who Dana doesn't really seem to care too much for, and the HW title picture is getting pretty full right now. You have the title fight coming up, then you have Overeem, Cormier, Barnett, Bigfoot all joining the picture as well. Nelson is not exactly going to be at the top of the list for a title shot.
I'd like to see it again just for the fact it would be a 5 rounder. Never seen Roy go 5 rounds in the UFC so there's that intrigue. It would really test the cardio of JDS also.
And by "show", he means being a punching bag for 5 rounds. I do enjoy that "show" though I must say. lol
Don't get me wrong, Roy has insane chin/heart and hits like a truck, but it just ain't happening against JDS.
If Nelson wants to beat JDS he'll have to step up his Cardio and train harder.
Herring In A Fur Coat -
Let Nelson welcome Barnett to UFC, I like that idea much better.
wow! THIS
Roy Nelson vs. Josh Barnett, make it happen goddammit

I don't see Nelson ever being a legit contender. He is a high level gatekeeper at best. Dana White not liking him has nothing to do with it.
I agree with that statement, however with a week HW division he may have been given a shot sooner or later do to a lack of options. Now there is just too much talent in the pool to ever consider Roy for a title shot, especially with Dana's personal feelings considered.
Roy vs Cain. That's the fight i want to see
Seriously who did diaz beat remember its all about the Benjamins
Herring In A Fur Coat -Love Nelson (no homo) but hell no. He might give us a show, but it's a show we've seen already.
Yep

Cro Cop may have been a tougher matchup for JDS than Fedor would be. I wouldn't count out a JDS ko as being a good possibility though.
