Kimbo Slice vs. Roy Nelson
Aired: September 30th, 2009. Ultimate Fighter Season 10
Round 1:
Nelson jabs. Slice looking to counter. Slice lands a nice leg kick at 4:16. Both men are very tentative. Nelson throws a looping left hook that’s blocked. Nelson fires jabs that are blocked. Nelson is backed against the cage and Slice swarms in with punches. Nelson protects himself and gets in the clinch position. Nelson has double underhooks with Slice’s back against the fence. Nelson eventually muscles Slice to the floor, landing in full mount. Nelson steps over to side control. Slice kicks off the cage in an attempt to escape, but Nelson maintains control. Nelson lays on top of Slice’s left arm and drops repeated lefts. Slice can’t escape but survives the round.
The fight arguably should have been stopped as Slice wasn’t defending himself, but maybe it was because Nelson’s ground and pound didn’t appear strong. When the bell sounds, Slice stands up fine to return to his corner.
Round 2:
Slice reaches with a heavy jab that misses. Slice throws a punch combo and Nelson looks to clinch. Nelson takes a few punches before bringing the fight to the ground in side control. Nelson tries to trap Slice’s arm again. Nelson looks for a keylock but gives it up to put Slice in the crucifix. Nelson drops punches. Again, Slice can’t escape, but this time referee Herb Dean stops the fight.
