The UFC Fight Night 82 heavyweight co-feature bout between Roy Nelson and Jared Rosholt figured to go one of two ways: Either a classic "Big Country" knockout, or stretch out for a long, long 15 minutes.
It turned out to be the latter on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The bout was smattered with long periods of inaction, but Nelson appeared to want it more and initiated most of the action that did go down. He got a unanimous decision from the judges with a pair of 30-27s and a 29-28.
