Quinton Jackson has recently expressed interest in moving up to the heavyweight and a bout with Roy Nelson is defintely he would be up for:
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): You brought up earlier about really wanting to round out your game. Is there anything specific you want to focus on before you make your Bellator debut?
Quinton Jackson: Everything. I need to work on everything, man. I need to work on my Muay Thai. I need to work on my wrestling. I need to work on my ground game and even my boxing. That’s what I’ve been doing.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Roy Nelson’s contract just expired in the UFC so he’s like a restricted free agent at the moment. You’ve brought wanting to fight at heavyweight now so would you be interested in a fight against Big Country if he signs with Bellator?
Quinton Jackson: I would love to fight Roy Nelson. Fuck him up.
Quinton Jackson is now under a long term contract with Bellator Fighting Championships, however Roy Nelson recently completed his last bout under his UFC contract, so there is a possibility we could actual see this bout come to fruition.
What say ye UG, who wins between Roy Nelson and Quinton Jackson?
