Should be spectacular mate.

If both are at their best Velasquez wins for me. He's a monster, an unbelievable heavyweight fighting machine. He put a serious beating on Dos Santos last time and destroyed Bigfoot twice since Junior knocked him out in the first fight.

JDS can knock any man out cold with one punch though and Velasquez knows it.

Really top fight to look forward to, can't wait for it!

If Dana thinks he's gonna put 'Big Country' out he's gonna have to do better than Stipe Miocic..... head full of concrete and stuff as Cabbage would say.

I see Dana's point but Fitch's left arm moves to make the ref think he's still in there, but still should be motioning to see is it's tight or not. I think it was the WWF DDT that finished it.

Was gonna go Miocic Decision the other night. He's always impressed me, then he goes and gets knocked out by Struve. He's an all round quality fighter with a solid chin.

Unless Nelson lands a big right hand on somebody he looks awful. He thought he could step into the Miocic fight, blast him out and have the upper hand in his contract negotiations... Backfired on him.

I honestly do not see how Roy Nelson thinks its okay to come into a professional fight in the kind of condition he does. Imagine if he fought Velasquez and the pace he sets, after one round he would need A&E to come and give him a gas and oxygen mask.

Like others have said, that big right hand lets him get away with it but if he doesn't land and ends up going deep in a fight he's fucked. Its his own fault anyway, if he's not learnt yet i doubt he ever will.

He could easily fight at LH if he was in shape Roy Nelson. He's a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black belt but his fitness is poor for a fighter. You could argue that he knocks people out and he's unlucky not to have got a title shot by now all the same.

He brings something to the UFC but can't see him fighting for the belt now but who knows?

Roy's not in the title picture & never has been, he's a Jon Fitch type fighter, big name but not title big.

I was gonna post it here but I thought I'd just link it so you can read the comments at the bottom, Yanks make me chuckle when they start arguing over the comments.

Top fighters just beat him up to be fair. Dos Santos, Werdum.... How he survived those knees to the face that night i'll never know, Mir fight was a disgrace both looked terrible.
