I don’t know what to say about that.
He must really like it.
I know I do.
HIGHJACK ALERT! jake shields is now saying that he hasn’t signed to fight john alessio and could face a top 185lb fighter from another organization. didnt say what org, or what fighter per mmaweeekly. another day in as the mma world turns!
Yeah, Alession said he’s not fighting him in Sept. I guess his arm just came out of a cast not too long ago and he said he wouldn’t be ready to fight Sheilds. Sheilds would have beat him in the first anyway. Kind of a one sided match up.
Its going to be “Mach” Sakurai in DREAM
sounds good to me. ive read rumors that he could fight at afflictions next show in oct or frank trigg in strikeforce(hope not). who in affliction could he fight thats a top 185 fighter, linland?
I’m now hearing Lindland at Affliction with Belfort claiming to have a broken hand from the Martin fight.
Don’t care
Why isn’t he headlining fights…he could KO Kim-Joke.
Im going to assume you are talking about Kimbo. There is no question that Kimbo would cripple that guy. Seriously, I dont know why so many people count him out. He has serious standup.
roy would kick kimbo ass.
actually he has decent technique…its funny how he is able to knock out fat ass and roidhead nobodies on the street yet a man like james thompson who was ko by brett rogers and has one of the weakest chins i ahve ever seen. kimbo could no put his lights out…for 3 round he pummeled him and nothing.roy would run over kimbo. i have respect for him trying to fight in MMA but giving him that much credit…is unfounded and just plain old band wagoning.
I am having a hard time even believing that there are people on mmamania that still haven’t realized that Kimbo is an absolute hack. He has no real skills, and will be killed in his first fight against a c level opponent. That is just the truth. Personally I don’t dislike the guy, and if I was him I would take the money too. He would be stupid not to. The point is that anyone who has trained, or even just watched mma, for over a year can see that he just doesn’t have what it takes.
He would not last a minute with any of the UFC heavyweights.
Its his belly, he must make an awesome Santa.
Chucks got a mohawk, Rampage has a big chain, he’s got a pot belly. Everybody wants to have a trademark these days.
Chuck has his trademark beer belly too.
It is almost proportionate considering Roy is a HW as well.
I see no problem with his War Belly!
no audio
sum it up yea!?
Might have something to do with a guy named Brock Lesnar….
Beast, thats exactly why!!! And there will be more HW’s that will turn the other way.
Well, my feelings are that if he came to the UFC that may match him up with Lesnar right away to test him and if that is the case I think he would rather go to affliction and face a b level fighter, because you know he wouldn’t fight fedor… There are other hw’s that would punish him but I think Lesnar would get first crack. Just my opinion but that’s how I see it. Herring, Nog, Kongo, and even Mir would beat this dude.
yeah he is scared of lesnar, so he will go tp a promotion with fedor barnett aa sylvia.yeah he won’t fight them at first but if he wins he will get matched up with them, maybe he went to the promtion with the best hw’s in the world.
I’ve dated girls with smaller titties than that guy!
i love titties!
BOOBIES!
LMFAO! You guys just miss the threads on Carano!
I thought Tank Abbott retired ??:)
Roy is the modern day “Tank Abbot”
Wrong!!!
get in my belly “baby” the other white meat fat bastard
roy “fat fuck” nelson. boy the ufc missed the boat on this dude. this guy could set mma back 10 years.
I heard he is having a C-section next after his Affliction fight.
He’s actually not that bad. He’s a better than average wrestler, exceptional take down defense, and above average punching power.
ive seen him fight. for him to look like that he has to be better than average.
hmm… can’t get the audio here… direct link anyone?
nevermind… just went to tagg radio…
my god… this is crap… 10 minutes in and still nothing besides bad audio effects and ads… how did anyone make it to the actual interview?
ive seen better. the old tank had a belly twice that size. and he was one mean son of a bitch.
OT:
Hey, Mania, MMA Live (the ESPN show) just cited you and the interview with GSP you posted!
sweet!
I bet he doesn’t care about diet or sit ups.
I don’t understand, did they want him to lose weight?
They wanted him to lose the War Belly.
He needs it to keep the fighters out of reach.
Maybe the dude just has a tiny pecker and doesn’t want to look at it.
#1 gut in MMA
never seen fight nor doi know record(not that interested)
but ive heard as fart as heart and willingness goes this pot belly never gets tired!
His submission game is also very underrated. Hard to imagine but he’s got some jits and speed.
how does anyone’s gut get that “pregnant looking?” This almost reminded me of Chuck at the weigh ins before he fought Rampage…
