Speaking via his Twitter page, Roy Nelson has said:
“Just read Rashad is mad because he wants to fight for the belt, but doesn’t want to fight, but needs to fight for money but doesn’t want 2 fight. I am confused – [he should] just fight then win, then fight for the belt. Is he afraid to lose? What do you guys think?”
“It[s] been almost a year since he has fought… He needs to fight and the title will come, but thats not always true, sometimes it politics too. If Rashad wants to fight [heavyweight] like Rampage, I’m all for it. I think it would be fun to reunite the Ultimate Fighter [season 10] HWY Title.”
Nelson was recently removed from the UFC 125 card where he was set to face Shane Carwin and is itching to get back inside the octagon as quickly as possible following a loss over the summer. First “Rampage”, now Rashad, will someone take the big man up on his offer?
How do you reckon Nelson vs Rashad at HW would go? And do you think Rashad should have a fight instead of just waiting around for Shogun?
