Kongo is one of the most entertaining gate keepers of all time IMO. In fact, this bout could be dubbed "Battle of the HW Gate Keepers." I've wanted to see this fight for a while now.

Their isn't a lot of people left for him to realistically call out. Would you guys rather him call out Phil de Fries? I guess the down thumb was because I implied Roy Nelson is a gate keeper. Nothing wrong with being a gate keeper, and he is.

Should be a pretty academic fight for Nelson. He'll stop Kongo, probably in the first.

Bad choice for Kongo. Not only is Roy another guy who can put him to sleep with one punch like Hunt did, but also as weak as Roy's takedowns are, Kongo is probably one of the few guys in the UFC that won't be able to defend them and on the ground Roy can win with whatever he wants. Maybe even remember that he has this BJJ black belt thingy.

Be careful what you wish for Cheick, this ain't gonna be easy at all like Joe^^ pointed out.

If Hunt can put Kongo to sleep, Nelson can definitely put Kongo to sleep. And  good luck with trying to knock Nelson out.

This is a terrible fight for Kongo, absolutely horrendous.

Junior Dos Santos couldn't knock out Roy despite hitting him 130 times in the course of 3 rounds. And regarding takedowns, Heath Herring was able to take Kongo down and lay'n'pray a decision.

yes is a tough fight for Kongo because of Roy´s power but on the oher side Kongo only needs to survive round 1 and then Nelson will transform into a human punching bag and Kongo will pick him apart with kicks to the legs until he crumbles under his own weight, that is if Kongo survives the 1st round

seeing Legacy's post, I think that can be his survival kit.

Keeping distance and kicking him in the legs and lower torso ALL.NIGHT.LONG. Maybe he can head kick Nelson to Valhalla ?

It's going to be a bad Q1 for Wolfslair . Bisping losing his title shot , Rampage getting KOed to Bellator and now Congo .

Roy is pretty much a terrible matchup for Kongo. He has an Iron chin. He hits like a truck and he's hard to take down. My money is on Roy in this one.
