Roy Nelson Responds to Dana White's 'Moron' Comments

Nelson-vs-kimbo_medium

Roy Nelson has been talking to MMA Fighting Stances during the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter and has revealed some interesting tidbits surrounding the season, such as Kimbo Slice receiving preferential treatment.

UFC President, Dana White, took exception with Nelson's comments and called Roy "a moron."

Well now its Roy Nelson's turn to respond.

Actually, it kind of bothers me [being called a moron] because whoever was throwing out (the questions to White), the press or whatever, was talking about, "Roy said this, Roy said that," and they said it came from USA TODAY's website, which I never really said, but I think they just didn't get all their facts correct.

They were saying that I said that Kimbo had a cell phone and stuff like that, and I never really said he had a cell phone. If I said anything about Kimbo having his media room or anything like that, they either took it out of context. I never said he received special treatment besides what everyone already knows, besides the treatment he's already received.

Wow, that last line was kind of wishy-washy. Nelson backs away from his previous assertion that Kimbo received preferential treatment but then says that he did receive certain perks and everyone knows about it. Huh?

Maybe Nelson can clear all this up.

The thing is, whatever usually comes out of my mouth is always the truth. The only thing that's always on my side is (that) I use the truth stick. Whatever comes out of my mouth, I'm just being honest. I'm not trying to manipulate the truth or anything like that. ... When you're born into this world, the only thing you have that no one can ever take away is your word.

Okay, WKR is officially confused.

Probably not as confused as Roy is himself.

seriously

I read a blog title that linked to USA Today’s story and it was like Roy takes exception to White’s comments. I then read what Nelson said and was completely befuddled
