Jason High: Roy Nelson shouldn’t lose ability to feed family for ‘kicking’ referee John McCarthy

If you ask Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White, "Big Country" needs to be "buried" for his transgressions. Then again, they haven’t exactly had the best relationship over the years.
