Now UFC is probably the douchiest sport to follow. Its a sport cherished by the kind of people that only go the gym to work out their upperbody and take self defence classes for the sole purpose of going out to bars and starting fights. Elite fighters trained in the art of destroying and maiming their opponents in a variety of ways. Men who turn themselves into human weapons and arm themselves with the knowledge of various martial arts. Full of High calibre human specimens that have spent countless hours honing their skills in the art of combat. They all look like modern gladiators and then you have guys that look like Roy Nelson.
Seriously I'm going to get MMA Douchie now, just a warning. But this is a sport and they have characters that people you can look at and say. "I like that guy, he seems cool." And you know what, Roy Nelson seems like a pretty cool person.
Roy Nelson is an inspiration. He is like a modern day Rocky. If he ever gets a movie made about him. I want Danny McBride to play this fat superhuman man. Hell if he's playing Kenny Powers then he can pull off an MMA fat Rocky. (Sidenote: If you haven't watched East Bound and Down, It's hilarious in your face Comedy. It is one of the most American, Loud Mouth, "USA! USA! USA!" shows based around a guy that use to be amazing athlete and threw his career away on because of his steroids and Coke)
He's the fat guy in a sport where everyone else like they just fight crime in their local neighbourhoods. Hell that could be the premise of the entire movie if they wanted to make it a comedy. Roy Nelson fights crime as a hobby in Vegas where he lives. He's like Batman... except without the Billions of Dollars... and he's Fat. He'd be Fatman (No that's too stupid).
He could be a live Action Kung Fu Panda? (No that's even stupider.)
A modern day MMA Rocky?
That movie will probably never get made but please universe. If Comedian Danny McBride ever wanted to do a ridiculous UFC Kung Fu Fighter who looks like just a regular guy that you probably see down at some local dinner enjoying a fucking hamburger.
Who do you think won this match-up? The Fat Guy or the Beefy Russian Dude?
This guy gets announced as a Kung Fu Master. He studied Kung Fu for 15 Years... And has a Black Belt in Brazilian Jujitsu. He won his last fight in 52 Seconds after he threw a well timed sweet overhand haymaker punch. Seriously that punch was like a piece of moving art captured on film. He has a Rocky like way of absorbing punishment, He's taken some ridiculous hits that would've otherwised killed a regular man. He has an Iron Chin, Roy Nelson has never been KO'd in the UFC which if you realise that is amazing considering he's had some fucking brutal matches in the UFC. If you realise that if he dropped the fat on his body and goes into a more natural weight cless that he would probably clean house in that division.
But the best part is, He's literally punching above his weight. You see all these finely tuned atheletes and just genetic freaks of nature because he's in the Heavyweight Division. Here is a nice Highlight video of the guy's handy work. Although a nice highlight reel, it honestly feels like video more suitable for a memorial service.
