UFC heavyweight fighter Roy ‘Big Country’ Nelson will be testing his MMA skills against Junior Dos Santos, the man whom Nelson believes is the best heavyweight in the UFC. ‘Big Country’ will look to make a statement this Saturday night at UFC 117, keeping in mind that the winner of this bout will be guaranteed to face the winner of Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez for the UFC heavyweight title.
From Roy Nelson:
“If I could pick my way to the top, this is one of the fastest ways to do it. I wanted to fight for the belt my very first fight, so this is OK with me…. Hands down, I think he’s the best guy in the UFC right now. This is my title fight, because I look at it as I think this guy can beat the guy who has the belt. I think Junior is the best…. If I didn’t think I was the best in the world, I’d be fighting in another organization. I’m always the guy who wants to challenge myself.”
