Former IFL heavyweight champion, Roy Nelson, joins TUF 10
For those that thought TUF 10 was going to be a road paved with gold for Kimbo Slice, we may have been wrong.
MMA Madness is reporting that former IFL heavyweight champion, Roy Nelson, will also be on the UFC's hit reality show. Nelson joins Kimbo Slice and several former NFL linemen in Vegas. The show is already filming.
Roy Nelson (13-4) is coming off back-to-back losses to Andrei Arlovski and Jeff Monson.
Nelson may not have the body image of a top athlete but he has demonstrated that he is a more than a capable fighter. During his IFL stint he won the heavyweight belt and only loss once, to Ben Rothwell.
For those who still believe the Kimbo conspiracy theories (namely me) we will have to wait to see the show and how the coaches pick the fights, whether in favor of Kimbo or against.

Me three…
I love this addition, but I’m still pulling for my boy Cody Donovan’s training partner Brendan Schaub, although he “can’t confirm” B’s participation …
Big Country versus Kimbo would be very interesting too …
