TUF 16 – Roy Nelson responds to Shane Carwin: “I don’t know if he’s getting off his meds or what it is”
“Ultimate Fighter” season ten winner, Roy Nelson has been speaking about the unprovoked verbal attack on him by his opposite coaching number on season sixteen of the hit reality show, Shane Carwin, explaining it probably stems from a misunderstanding to do with that growing problem of performance enhancing drugs.
Speaking via MMAFighting.com, Nelson said:
“It sounds like he’s a Chael [Sonnen], which is OK because I can be Anderson [Silva] and put him in his place. I have no idea [if he's putting on an act]. My thing is, I don’t know if he’s getting off his meds or what it is. But for me personally, it’s OK to be average. But the thing is, hard work does pay off. I’m just average and look at the s— that I’ve pulled off. I’m coaching The Ultimate Fighter. I said he is a clean fighter. I only fight clean fighters. I’ll fight anybody in the UFC that’s clean. Or dirty. Or clean.”
Nelson is 2-1 in his last three fights after defeating Mirko Cro Cop and Dave Herman while losing to Fabricio Werdum. The man known as “Big Country” won the tenth season of the hit reality show. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as we get it.
