Kimbo Slice vs Roy Nelson

In the Ultimate Fighter’s tenth installment, an awaited match between Kimbo Slice and Roy Nelson took place. For anyone not familiar with Slice so far, they may be under a rock, as he has beaten his way to the top of street fights in and around Miami, Florida. But against the doughy and UFC trained Roy Nelson, this did not seem as much of an issue. Kimbo did very well on his feet, and had Roy Nelson backpeddling every time he threw a punch. Unfortunately, this did not last long, as Nelson eventually took him down to the mat. When it comes to the ground game, Kimbo doesn’t really seem to shine.

After jockeying for position, Roy Nelson seemed to wear Kimbo Slice down at the end of the first round, even after a few unsuccessful attempts by Slice to kick off from the cage. In the second round, Nelson did not want to take any chances standing toe to toe with Slice’s amazing punching power. After a couple of jabs, Nelson managed to ground Kimbo again in the second round. When this happened, as with most UFC fights, the books were closed on this one. After a few weak punches to Kimbo Slice’s head, the match was over. While he did not tap out, it was evident that he was very beaten.

It is noteworthy to state that UFC president Dana White was not impressed with the win, as Kimbo is still not versed when it comes to many elements of the UFC. Even though the world has seen him decimate many opponents on popular streaming video sites, he is still a long way from excelling in MMA.
