UFC Video: Roy Nelson kicks Ref John McCarthy after late stoppage

Roy Nelson landed a huge right hand on the second round of his UFC: Brasilia bout against Antonio Silva. He dropped ‘Bigfoot’ and landed quite a few more punches on the ground until referee ‘Big’ John McCarthy stopped the contest.

Nelson, who is good friends with Silva, was upset at the late stoppage. Shortly after, he decided to throw a kick at McCarthy and then flipped him off. Watch the video below:

Nelson also spoke about it on his post-fight interview with Jon Anik. He says once he landed the punch, he knew the fight was over and he didn’t know why he had to land all those unnecessary punches after.
