    I don’t know why people praise this fat lesbian????cant wait till Shane knocks this guy out.

  2. mike says:

    mmm Roy Nelson juxtaposed with marathon.. that sounds like an oxymoron to me

  3. stephen riddle says:

    What is the weight class?

  4. 757 says:

  5. stonch says:

    I am a stupid fag

  6. Drew says:

    Roy is better then Shane in everyway it’s his fight to win

    • Majestyk says:

      @Drew…How can you say that? He does have better cardio and jujitsu (and obviously a better chin), but wrestling and punching power go to Carwin.

  7. Thom says:

    Condit deserves a marathon

  8. Dddddd says:

    I think he should be sponsored by BurgerKing
    and then set up a big money fight with Jerrod
    from Subway.
