Roy Nelson is a big personality, and body, in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight division.
As a confident striker who has made a pretty good living out of swinging for the fences and momentarily detaching opponents from reality with one punch, Nelson has become a true fan favorite across mixed martial arts (MMA). After all, a guy who can secure a knockout then shake his belly atop the Octagon is good in almost anyone's book.
But as the 40-year-old begins to enter the last few years of his MMA career, he would like to be given free reign to fight as much as possible and earn all the money he can.
