Amazing spinning back kick to Moussasi's chin by Uriah Hall followed up by a crunching flying knee. Huge win for Hall. Almost as spectacular as his world famous KO kick on TUF. Barnett and Nelson coming up next. By the way, Barnett looked almost thin at the weigh in. Back on his old Japanese diet ????
I only saw the last 2 fights. I didn't expect that from Uriah Hall. I thought Gaygard would beat him standing up and on the ground. This has to be his biggest win by far. Roy Nelson is tough. Both guys looked like they were about to die after the first 3 rounds. Barnett won with better cardio.
Great question. Moussasi had a little momentum after stopping Henderson and edging Phillippou. But a KO loss to Hall and a 3-3 record over his last 6 really limits the immediate options for Moussasi.
Roys mental toughness far outweighs his cardio and physical ability. The fact that he went 5 grueling rounds with that belly proves beyond a doubt that Nelson has zero quit in him. He was completely exhausted and battered to the point that many guys would have looked for a way out. Yet the fattest guy in modern MMA keeps swinging. Gotta respect that that at least.
He's lost 5 of his last 6 though. Time to hang em up I think, Dana never liked him and gives him nothing but tough match ups.
If White didn't like Nelson, there's no way he would get so many opportunities over far more deserving fighters. In fact, he would have been cut long ago for lack of professionalism, remember Travis Lutter. I used to like Roy, but his gimmick has run his course long ago. He doesn't want to train hard so nowadays, his fights are either quick ko (much rarer these day's) or he loses by ud in a bore where he barely do anything after the 1st round because he's exhausted
