I like the match-up, I don't think the black beast will take Roy down and both guys have an history of eating punches instead of avoiding them. Against Roy Nelson that can be a bad call as we all know.

My guess is that it will be Roy Nelsons last highlight KO.

What do you guys think?

There will be blood.

I love this match up this can answer all the questions we have about Derrick Lewis.
If he can get through Roy he'll get a lot further in the Division then many thought he could.
I personally feel Lewis has a ton of potential and he's still relatively green improving each fight.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

It'll more than likely be a repeat of Mitrione/Lewis

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

I like it. I like it...

Spoiler

... A LOT.

 

[Nightmaree]

Good match-up

I hope Browneye fights Hunt after he KO's Mir

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Roy by ko in the 1st min

 

[SpiderCrawl]

Big Roy by KO.

 

[Serana]

This is pretty much guaranteed KO for Nelson.

 

[Dutchman101]

Awesome fight if true, it will be a KO for sure. Only who will remain the question.

 

[Woliwo]

This is the match I really want to see.
Roy by KO is the most likely outcome, but wouldn't surprise me if he gets his first sub win in UFC.
Gonna be entertaining, that's for sure.

 

[Appylion]

Let's go whoever ends up as the dog.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Lewis 2nd rd KO

 

[FightsFTW]

Roy via surviving Derrick's early onslaught resulting in Derrick gassing and Roy landing the right hand for the KO, or possibly a TD and sub or crucifix TKO.

 

[Spath]

Nelson is better standing and on the ground. It's a good fight to get a card going.

[steliokontos]

Roy via Sub

Does anyone know what exactly BJ was so regally approving of in this gif?

i believe team edgar had picked a fight matchup that wasn't too strategic, and was in Team BJ's Favor

just because it was a fight everyone in the house wanted to see. Grudge match

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Lol such a JUST BLEED fight....I love it.

Roy via brutal KO.
