About a third of the way there.  It'll be fun to see Skinny Country at LHW.

Moving to 205 would be a smart move with all positives. Consider:

-He can't beat the top heavyweights.
-He'd be more physically competitive
-He'd renew his public interest
-He'd likely be fast tracked to a titleshot against a champ who will likely run out of challengers by the end of 2012.

Roy has clearly hit the ceiling at 265, a move down is just what he needs.

@Anik Man, are you impersonating Boromir today, or are you actually Faramir, just wishing you could be as awesome as your brother? :)

Getting down To LHW will be the hardest thing Roy has done in his life,  but if he manages to do it, he´ll be awesome, an unstoppable chin, with hammer hands and wicked submissons skills that´ll be fun to watch.

Problem is Roy can't beat top HWs, but he won't be able to beat top LHWs either, but people will be very interested in the process of it all. Hell, I wanna' see the guy as a LHW just for the awesome spectacle of seeing the guy 40lbs lighter.

Says who? Roy Nelson with good cardio is an elite MMA fighter.

The guy's smart, very powerful, he's got the best chin in MMA and he's got a sick ground game. What is there stopping Roy Nelson if he has speed and a gas tank to add to that?

I just liked him on facebook and it looks like he's added close to 30,000 new fans.  Get ready for a serious diet soon to be Not So Big Country!

I just liked it on his FB page, 86.100 so far. In order to lose that 40lbs he might actually train. I'm curious to see how he looks like after that cut. I'm also tense if he will shoot a trashy commercial for some gym machine or slim fast or something like that.

He would need a full life style change to lose the rest of the 40 lbs...

I think he should lose the mullet, too.

His backup nickname was The Mullet, so I suspect he'll keep it for sentimental value. :P

I still don't think Roy's attributes would get him any further at LHW than HW, I'm not dissing the guy's skills but he is getting on a bit. I'd love to be proved wrong though.
