Roy Nelson Talks King Mo Lawal, Rematch With Daniel Cormier

Roy Nelson is riding a two fight-losing streak in the UFC Heavyweight division, most recently losing a lopsided decision against Daniel Cormier at UFC 166. ‘Big Country’ was lining himself up for title contention after going on a three-fight KO streak between 2012/13, but fell terribly short against a rebounding Stipe Miocic at UFC 161.

Winner of TUF: Heavyweights and owner of four KOTN bonuses, Nelson has often got on the wrong side of his employers at Zuffa; Dana White in particular. The two share a hate-hate relationship that can, at times, seem quite comical.

Nelson’s latest comments to FightHubTV will probably fall on deaf ears, especially given the rocky relationship with DW. It turns out Nelson would like a rematch with DC, though it will probably be hard to come by now that Cormier is targeting the UFC’s 205lb. division.
