Forget Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz or Brock Lesnar vs. Fedor Emelianenko; Roy Nelson vs. Lesnar is the UFC's mega-money fight. That's according to Nelson himself, who recently referred to Lesnar as the heavyweight McGregor in an interview with FOX Sports.
"I'd definitely take that fight. It's definitely a money fight. In the heavyweight division, that's the Conor McGregor," Nelson said. "He just brings a whole other audience."
Nelson, a 40-year-old fan favorite who has been competing in the sport for twelve years, will look to extend his win streak to 2-0 when he takes on Derrick Lewis at UFC Fight Night 90.
