Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson agree to fight
Heavyweights Roy Nelson and Josh Barnett have verbally agreed to a fight in the UFC, after a fan suggested a match up at Metamoris Pro.
At UFC 185 on Saturday night Alistair Overeem delivered a cautious beating to Roy Nelson that looked like outtakes from Terminator 2. Overeem’s low kicks made Nelson’s legs bend unnaturally, and his middle kicks echoed like a baseball bat over the shouts of thousands, and still Nelson moved forward, attacking relentlessly.
UFC president Dana White summed it up.
•Roy is SO F—ING TOUGH!!!!!!!!
•Roy Nelson = toughest human being EVER!!! To be here ringside and hear the shots he took is crazy. #muchrespectroy
•I just talked to @roynelsonmma to see if he is ok and he just asked me for another fight ASAP!!! That guy is not HUMAN!! Toughest guy EVER!!
