Dana White Rips Roy Nelson, Claims Kimbo Received No Special Treatment

It wouldn't be a UFC press conference if Dana White doesn't rip into someone. The easy money is on Strikeforce, Showtime and Fedor but the smart money is on Roy Nelson.

Roy Nelson made several comments to USA Today's MMA Fighting Stances in which he claimed that Kimbo Slice was receiving preferential treatment compared to the rest of the cast e.g. his posse showed up to watch him fight, got to talk on cell phones etc.

Here's what White said about the former IFL Champion and current TUF contestant,

"Roy Nelson is a moron. He's an idiot. The guy really is that dumb. Never once did [Kimbo] use the phone to call anybody. And you'll actually see later on as the show progresses, there's a situation that happens where I have to get on the phone, and then I put him on the phone. He didn't get any special privileges...Roy Nelson is a moron. Interview him sometime, you'll find out. Roy Nelson is an idiot, he's a complete jackass."

WKR doesn't want to call Dana White a liar but Nelson's claims were corroborated by Mike Wessel and his anti-KImbo rant for Heavy.com. For the sake of consistency White will need to verbally berate Wessel as well.

But the fact that multiple cast-mates from TUF are coming forward and describing Kimbo's role on the show in a negative light it is hard for White to simply call one of them an idiot and for us to then ignore his previous comments.
