Goldberg is just smh worthy. First he called Roy a "true champion", now he's comparing Werdum's clinch to Andersons.

Werdum seems so much bigger than Roy.  Roy is getting bullied out there.

I'd be shocked if Werdum KO'd Nelson.  JDS threw everything he had at Nelson and couldn't get it done.

Roy is a trooper, but this doesn't look good for him...

Who won that first round?

Roy had a knockdown, but Fabricio clearly wins that round without it.

Agree with Joe Rogan. Roy might have the best chin in MMA. Guarantee top 5

Like Cabbage Correira would say, Roy Nelson's head is filled with "concrete and stuff."

@anik Werdum easily won the first. He beat the snot out of Nelson and the knockdown was a counter that had him off-balance.  this is 20-18 werdum.
