The Las Vegas-based heavyweight — who coaches against Shane Carwin during the 16th season of The Ultimate Fighter, which debuts Friday on FX — said him and White had a “separation” period after fallout from the show.
“It’s one of those relationships were there’s love and hate,” Nelson said. “We’re in one of those things like a speed bump. I don’t know if we need a separation from one another.
