Prediction: correct Nelson   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

Gonna pull for one of my favorite fighters Big Country by round one KO. If Mark Hunt can KO Kongo so can Nelson Kongo has the reach advantage but so did Mitrione and Struve and you see how much that helped them...

I think I'm going to have to go with the minority and pick Kongo. On the ground Nelson has the clear advantage but I don't think the fight goes there. Kongo is a very accomplished striker........Kickboxing
  • 2005 World Champion Federation King of the Rings
  • 2005 King of Colosseum tournament champion
  • 2005 Rings World champion
  • 2004 King of the Ring Heavyweight champion
  • 2004 Muay Thai World champion
  • 2003 Intercontinental Muay Thai champion
  • 2002 Rings European champion
  • 2001 Rings European Vice champion
  • European Savate champion

 

I'm leaning towards Nelson getting beat up for 3 rounds while losing a UD. Throwing haymakers against Mitrione may work but not on Chieck.

Nelson gets a chance to string 3 wins in a row, Kongo looks to get back on the winning path. No title implications, but hey, a winning streak needs to start somewhere

Terrible fight for Kongo. Hopefully he has some kind of surprise he can pull out to get a W, but I doubt it.

Kongo has almost no shot at winning this and I'm surprised anyone thinks he does. He can't KO Nelson, he can't take it if Nelson hits him with some hard shots, and if it goes to the ground he's screwed too.

Prediction: correct Nelson   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

Nelson has always been like one or two wins away from a contender spot if he shows some discipline he could be a force to be reckoned with for a title shot. He has a respectable ground game even though he doesn't really use it, most people forget most of his win in the TUF competition came from his ground skills. His chin is uncanny and he hits like a bag of hammers. A match versus Cain I think would be interesting. Cain's stamina is way better so he would out point Nelson for sure but it could be fun.
