Roy Nelson Finishes Kimbo Slice on The Ultimate Fighter 10

Heavyweight “Big Country” Roy Nelson (13-4) TKO’d “Kimbo Slice” Kevin Ferguson (3-1) by referee stoppage in the second round of an exhbition fight on The Ultimate Fighter 10 Wednesday.

“I feel like shit,” Slice admitted after the loss, though an “L” won’t show on his record.

At the opening bell, Nelson waved a jab in Slice’s face as Slice sized up “Big Country”.  The first hard shot was a leg kick landed by Slice to Nelson’s lead leg.  Nelson bent over to snatch-up a leg and got tagged again with a Slice uppercut.  But, Nelson bullied Slice to the cage and tripped him to the mat and mounted.  Nelson landed a left punch and passed to side mount and pinned Slice’s right arm beneath his knee in the crucifix position.  Nelson counted off 10s of unanswered pats on Slice’s noggin as referee Herb Dean urged Slice to work.  The round ended in that predicament.

Slice exited his corner with urgency for round two.  He landed a straight right flush to Nelson’s jaw; but, Nelson bum rushed through Slice’s assault and ran right over the street fighter as Slice launched a knee strike.  From side control, Nelson smothered Slice with his “big ass belly”, as coach “Rampage” Quinton Jackson (28-7) called it.  Nelson again pinned Slice’s arm beneath his knee in the crucifix position and patted on Slice’s skull.  This time, Dean stepped in an ended the fight.

Nelson celebrated his “W” by ordering a Burger King Whopper with cheese from UFC President Dana White, who said Nelson hit like his daughter after the fight.
