UFC boss praises Roy Nelson’s durability but unsure what his future holds

Posted on Feb 8, 2012

LAS VEGAS – On Saturday night in Las Vegas, Roy Nelson did what Roy Nelson does best: Walk forward, opponent be damned, and wing right hands.

And while his gutsy performance earned “Big Country” one-half of UFC 143′s “Fight of the Night” bonus, the loss leaves Nelson at just 1-3 in his past four fights.

So despite earning one of the loudest welcomes of the night from the Mandalay Bay Events Center crowd, is Nelson’s spot in the UFC’s heavyweight division secure?
