Prediction: correct Nelson   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

Nelson has been preparing for this fight for a longer period of time since Herman is taking the fight on shorter notice, plus Nelson has got an Iron Chin a brutal right hand. Nelson also beat Stefan Struve with ease and that was Herman's previous loss.

Guy with a bomb for a right hand and a BJJ black belt vs a guy who relies on his chin too much and doesn't think BJJ works? Easy pick

I think Nelson has this, he maybe eats a kick or two from Herman early but that's it, sooner or later he'll land his go to overhand right. Herman just isn't careful enough with his defense I believe. If this doesn't work Big Country still can put him in a crucifix and end it there...

how the **** does Herman win this fight? He can't beat him with his technical striking because Roy Nelson's striking is better, he can't KO Nelson because Nelson's chin is ******* legendary, he can't wrestle Nelson and he DEFINITELY can't submit Nelson.

I definitely think Roy can be in the top 10, he could beat Minotauro, Big Foot and I think he could beat Browne too.

@Anik

Overrating Nelson a little bit? Herman can't outstrike him? Nelson has power and thats about it. Slow punches and not too many combos. He probably doesn't want to wrestle him but I think he has enough wrestling to stay off his back. Plus Nelson has awful cardio.

I'm not saying Nelson will lose, but people overrate before every.single fight because he's been given a lot of attention. The fact is that he has zero top ten wins. A lot of people thought he'd ko Werdum (LOL), gave him a decent chance against Mir and thought he'd run through CC.

Herman really hasn't proved too much except that he has really heavy hands and a pretty good chin, then again he got tko'd by Struve.  I might switch to a KO for Nelson because Herman seems like he doesn't like to engage and Nelson will bring the fight to him.

Prediction: correct Nelson   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I'm pretty sure if Nelson can take bombs from JDS, he can take them from Herman.  The difference being Herman has sloppy defense and apparently no ground game.   I think Nelson takes him out with a bomb of his own, or maybe slaps him silly in the crucifix.

guys, Dave Herman sucks and this fight is Roy's to lose. Roy Nelson is a beast, he's a dog, he's a goon. He's gonna send Peewee back to the playground.

Nelson hits much harder than Struve... The only thing I dont like is that Nelson is terrible defensively when he's in the muay thai clinch. I've got Nelson by KO though. Herman slows down considerably after the 1st round. Proven by both of his fights in the UFC

@Fglop Hermans cardio is ******* terrible too. Einemo almost beat him for god's sakes. It's gonna come down to who has the better chin because theyre both gonna take shots and Herman got rocked by a "Struve uppercut"... For that fact Herman is going out.
