Why does nelson like getting beat up?

 

[Star-Lord]

I've seen idiots saying Roy has a better ground game than Barnett, I dont think Roy could sub Lister like Barnett did. I'm take Josh

Barnett via steam rollering. The man's an animal.
Would definitely prefer to see them grappling rather than MMA.

 

[Ryann Von Doom]

Josh will rape rape Nelson.

 

[Shy Guy]

It's a bad fight for Roy.

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Very bad matchup for Roy. Barnett takes him down and punishes him.

How does Roy possibly win this fight? I dont see any way.

Hard to find a way. I guess maybe Josh could be reluctant to attempt a take down after what happened with Browne so he keeps it standing and gets hit with that big overhand. That seems highly unlikely.

There's always Roy's usual way, I suppose. Keep throwing overhand rights until Barnett gets bored/tired. If they fought 10 times, he might be able to outlast Barnett once. Maybe.

Hmmmmmm

 

[sparkuri]

I like this fight

 

[The Tomahawk Murderer]

I love it! But then I'm a Barnett fan, lol.

 

[SickEye]

I'll be rooting for Roy if it happens...I never cared much for Barnett's smugness and his sadistic gratification in hurting people...

That being said, let them bang bro! Should be a wicked fight.

 

[Pitbull9]

Great fight and got to give it up for Roy he never looks for an easy fight he wants to fight tough guys all the time. I really don't even think there are easy fights at HW.

I think 99% of that is a character he plays for the camera's (he's a big WWE fan). Now don't get me wrong. He's intelligent and talented, and he knows it...so he is arrogant, and he's a no nonsense motherfucker. But he also seems like a pretty good dude as well. This piece here is what made me see another side of him.

I'll say this...there's probably not too many guys who cagefight and play D & D (or Magic) in their off time!

Joe Lauzon comes to mind...
