Dana White and the Fertitta's seem to have a bit of a love hate relationship with Roy Nelson. They really like the potential Roy has but they just do not really like his image or his methods of 'traneing UFC.' They were so annoyed by Nelson's attitude that they sat down and had a serious discussion with him recently that was probably reminiscent of those talks your parents had with you every summer when they opened your end of year report card. The talks where your parents said you were in need of an attitude adjustment and would be grounded to your room all summer. Those talks usually left you storming off up the forest green carpetted stairs to your room spewwing verbiage about all of the hate you had in your heart for those evil parents of yours.

Roy's version of a teenage angst filled stomp off happened at UFC 146, only it was whole lot more destructive and intimidating than you dramatically slamming your bedroom door.  While you slamming your door was likely to get your Dad running up the stairs after you snatching you up by your neck and threatening to obliterate your very existence, Roy's act of insubordination instead seems to have impressed his boss. Roy showed Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta what he thought of that attitude adjustment talk via a large overhand right fist KO of Dave Herman and then an immediate finger point at Dana White and rant at Lorenzo. As a matter of fact, Dana even tells Ariel Helwani in this video that he accepts knowing full well that Roy would like to shove that KO right up his pooper like an act of strange sodomistic rebellion. Personally I don't ever want to accept anything that makes me envision any ass and Roy Nelson's fist together, but hey to each their own.

Lol. The Klitchko brothers couldn't make it in MMA. But on the flipside, 99% of MMA fighters couldn't make it in boxing either. It's apples to oranges

Diaz, JDS, BJ Penn maybe even Maynard could do well over in boxing at the top level, let alone what a small influx of MMA fighters across the dead divisions of boxing could do to put fire up under some of these overpaid donkeys asses. (no pun no pun)

I can't think of ONE boxer who could get near any major MMA Champ... but that's always gona be the case, MMA only improves boxing slowly dies.

Paquiao came from Kickboxing I kno, but he left his roots long behind.

Well..sort of
MMA still hasnt reached the potential to be considered a "real fight" yet

In a real fight, a failed takedown gets met with a nice kick to the face..

You mean like Jose Aldo vs Chad Mendes?
Maybe it wasn't shin-to-face, but knees are more effective at that range anyway.

I actually left that 1% open for fighters like Diaz or JDS. MMA fighters train for a wide array of skill sets, and while it might be easy to ASSUME that fighters like Diaz could go make a name for themselves in Boxing, the fine-tuned art of boxing has been around for over a century. More studied and mastered than Pankration or any other form of ancient mixed martial art.

When you have a fine-tuned sport like that, it's not so easy to come walking in and making a name for yourself. I love Diaz and his warrior spirit, but he can't just walk into the world of boxing tomorrow and face off against Paquiao or Mayweather. These guys are masters of their craft.

I've said it before and I'll say it again regarding this "Boxing vs. MMA" nonsense.. It's apples to oranges

is it just me or do you guys want to see Roy Nelson vs Mark Hunt?

2 big boys with knock out power and both seem to be fan favorites.

Joe Silva make it happen

Sadly, I see Roy running in for the clinch or takedown, Hunt possibly landing an uppercut, going to the ground, Crucifix. Done.

There's nothing more satisfying that proving your dickhead boss wrong in front of an audience of millions!
