I don’t know why people praise this fat lesbian????cant wait till Shane knocks this guy out.
I’m pretty sure Nelson can knock out Shane. For a fat dude, he has way better cardio than Shane.
Just wanted to get my name known to y’all.
Because he is a good fighter and is a funny guy.
Big country is a really good fighter everybody overlooks him because he’s fat he will beat Shane’s slow overrated a$$
mmm Roy Nelson juxtaposed with marathon.. that sounds like an oxymoron to me
Probably too big of a word for this thread, but great comment!
cool
What is the weight class?
^^ weight class is xxxxxxxlg for Nelson
I am a stupid fag
Roy is better then Shane in everyway it’s his fight to win
@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.
Condit deserves a marathon
I think he should be sponsored by BurgerKing
and then set up a big money fight with Jerrod
from Subway.
