Although he doesn’t have the most sparkling record in recent years, Roy Nelson remains one of the most recognizable heavyweights in mixed martial arts.
Now that “Big Country” has left the UFC following a 19-bout tenure for Bellator MMA, he believes he can convert even more fans to his brand of action thanks to the platform that the new promotion provides.
“Why do you think UFC has been dying? Because they’re on Fox, Fox Sports 1 or whatever. Viacom is always on the edge because they have MTV, they have Spike, they’re switching over to Paramount,” Nelson told Sherdog.
