Shane Carwin and Big Country on your television at one time. People, this is the exact reason why widescreen televisions were invented in the first place. If your viewing ratio isn't 16:9, then good luck trying to fit both of these dudes in your living room. Shane Carwin's fist is the size of your love seat. This is the same guy the UFC had to create special XXXXXL gloves for.

This morning, the UFC announced that Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson will be the coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter on FX starting at some point in September. Filming begins in early August, probably on the second day of the month, the exact date of my birthday along with Nick Diaz. That's right, we were born on the same day, and the earth nearly spun out of orbit.

Many of you may recall that Shane Carwin vs. Roy Nelson almost happened back in 2010 at UFC 125, but unfortunately Carwin pulled out of the fight due to an injury that required extensive surgery. It's also important to note that out of all fifteen wins the current UFC heavyweight champion, Junior dos Santos, has in his MMA career, he's only been unable to finish two fighters. You guessed it -- Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson. Those guys have chins made out of unobtainium.

I see a one sided beat down for Roy Nelson's gut.

This is a very winnable fight for Roy Nelson, all he has to do is survive early.

I think you mean hopefully he does so that Roy can survive the early barrage to come back in the later rounds to win.

SO Dana will have these guys coach but not a Griffin vs Bonnar season? They are no more relevant in the title picture. I have no interest in seeing Shane and Roy coach against each other. At least Griffin and Bonnar have history. Hell, they MADE history.

Quoting Lefthea D. Kick:

Wow, Dana really really dislikes Roy Nelson.

Has any fighter come into the UFC/Off TUF and fought such a consistently tough bunch of fighters?

One thing you can say about Roy, the guy doesn't seem to turn down fights. He will fight anyone and he's a cult favourite because he's not just going to turn up and take a paycheck. That man has heart!
