Speaking via MMAMania.com Mir said:
“I like Roy and I think that he’s a very skilled fighter. He was able to land a couple punches in the fight but it really came down to the fact that his belly impedes his abilities. I think that he’s a great fighter in spite of his belly and his weight, not because of it. His strength, his physical strength when we locked up, most of my training partners are light heavyweights felt stronger than him. That’s why when we were against the cage, that’s what really drew me in. I had my underhook. I’m like, “ok, this guy could pull my legs out underneath him and he still couldn’t change levels on me.” I could feel the strength that he had. He does need to go 205 and I’ve spoken to him and Jess, his wife, about that at one of the Expos. I know it’s not easy to want to cut all that weight but I know he had talked about just changing his body composition, adding weight, getting bigger.”
Nelson was due to meet with UFC President, Dana White for showdown talks this past week following his latest below-par performance inside the octagon and Mike Dolce’s involvement could be enough to delay ‘Big Country’s’ stay of execution for at least another fight. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this as we get it
