Looks like Roy was serious about getting down to LHW. Looks like he could make it now as he looks waaaaaay smaller than Forrest. Now he'll obviously be in better shape for the Cro Cop fight but giving up all that size has me a little nervous of my pic. What say you tapologists?

And people doubted my calculations when I claimed he could make MW.


I know it's NOT gonna happen but If he beat Anderson Silva sherdog forums would explode ;)

Wow good for him, but that's not going to help him prevent getting tko'd by Cro Cop.

CroCop didn't even KO Barry. I'm a huge fan but he doesn't have it in him anymore.

I'll be cheering for Cro Cop 100% but I dont think he has a chance. Nelson does look alot smaller, he should push for LHW.

Nelson never cut weight to get to 265 did he?  And I wonder if he loses this fight if he'll retire, the dude's 35 and if he loses this (which is unlikely but still), he'll probably never get back into contention.

Looking forward to these 2 heavyweights who both should not be in the heavyweight division fight. Either way if your betting money you can never ever pick cro cop to win against anyone in the ufc.

Well lately Nelson isn't the most reliable guy to bet on either...

i think the weight loss is good and will make his punches faster. mirko has my sympathies. nelson continues his career in mma and mirko and barry got a music deal from atlantic records.

He looks good, I'm glad b/c I have him on my fantasy team. This fight's a win-win though for me b/c if CC wins I'll be happy too.

The beard throws off the proportion of his new stature.  It almost looks like it's photoshopped.  Maybe he went on the Subway diet!

Dude is only 6'0" tall, he could make 185.  It's ridiculous how fat he was.
