Let's be real, Roy Nelson is the man to beat JDS, if it can be done.

Not too optimistic about Cain's chances, God bless him, but I think Roy still has a shot. Roy's striking is getting better ( throw enough over hand rights, you're gonna get good at landing them), plus he put together some nice combos on Meathead.

I think Roy is pretty underated because of his general apathetic and cocky attitude. Healthy Roy beats Frank Mir. To beat JDS you gotta have a chin, and Roy's got it, plus he can learn from his mistakes. Werdum would be be my second choice to beat JDS, but he doesn't have the chin to do it.

Thoughts?

 

When do we begin being real?

 

JDS would beat him up again.

 

You said lets be real then followed it with something unrealistic. Cain has a much better chance than Roy ever will.

 

Cain will give JDS a vicious beating.

 

^ that's just a couple pictures of JDS falling into Roy's trap

 

Good one

 

Roy almost got JDS down and landed some bombs on him. Roy is actually one of the few vets who shows improvement still at this point in his career. I could see him catching JDS or eeking out a decision

 

Roy has the power but JDS has already proved how much better his technical striking is than Roy's. He has better hand speed and technique. The only chance Roy would have is landing that perfect shot on JDS' chin.

 

He probably CAN beat him but he probably wont beat him.

 

No but he could be the guy to knock Cain out of the top 5.

 

Yeah ok. Cain is the correct answer or overeem.

 

Expected White belt TC even tho I hate people who comment on the belt system like it matters.

That's how fucking retarded this is.

 

Werdum made Roy look like crap standing.

It is amazing how much hype a fighter coming of a win gets around here.

 

rothwell

 

Yeah, and since JDS lost his arms!

 

He just beat Mitrione...MEATHEAD...geez.

In short No. Thanks for trying though.

 

Is this a joke? Nelson only hope for holding UFC gold is if the UFC adopts an intercontinental heavy weight championship directly stolen from the WWE.

 

Yeah, it definitely won't be Cormier, Overeem or Velasquez.
