Kimbo Slice vs Roy Nelson video… what a joke!
The much-anticipated heavyweight bout in The Ultimate Fighter between Kimbo Slice and Roy Nelson has ended in a technical knockout win to Nelson, in disappointingly tame scenes more reminiscent of a playground fight between fat kids scrapping over lunch than a martial arts display.
Roy Nelson – who is an experienced mixed martial arts performer but looks to be carrying a lot more body fat than the Internet darling Kimbo Slice – won the bout by sitting his bulky belly down on Slice’s body and raining a series of pillow-soft blows into his head.
Nelson caught Slice in a crucifix hold, so called because one man lays cross-wise to the other as he holds him down. Slice has had problems with the “ground game” before, notably in his bout with James Thompson last year where a similar crucifix hold in the second round was broken up by the referee. Slice is known to be much more comfortable on his feet going toe to toe with his opponent, which is a signficant weakness in MMA.
Referee Herb Dean’s controversial stoppage deals a huge blow to the popular Slice’s chances of making it big in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, in a decision that owes more the highly technical form of Greco-Roman wrestling than the glitzy, knock-em-sock-em world of MMA bouts.
