Forget big country. Sure a 6 figure contract is on the line, but still that was a pathetic “win.” Did you say Nelson’s ground-and-pound? DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE FIGHT?! I could hundreds of punches like that, and I’m a frail fellow. He just kept tapping him on the head till Herb disgustedly ended the fight. This is how he ended it. “Alright guys the fight’s over. Stand Up.” When you win by ground-and-pound the ref thrusts the person on top off, but it this case he just said get up. That was a technical victory and I actually loss respect for big-country as a result. He may be one of the most experienced in the house, but a win like that will not help him win the Ultimate Fighter. To hell with Pudgemz.

I agree with Thumper. Anyone who has seen Roy Nelson fight before knows he’s not afraid to throw. Check out some of his past fights — he’s all about slinging big ones. In this instance, he didn’t need to. He’s smart.

Carlos, you can’t shine if you bust your knuckle and are unable to perform in the remaining bouts necessary to take the UF10 title. This was just one rung on the ladder to this title, and I think Big Country was doing just enough to win. I think he didn’t take any unnecessary risks cuz he didn’t need to.

When you are on a show like this you have to take every chance to shine. Doing just enough to win won’t cut it. Big Country once again showed how any bum can be a champ in the leagues outside the UFC. I also disagree that the second time he smothered him it was the side of the head, it was once again to the top of the head. We expected Kimbo to be lost on his back (like Forrest has been last few losses) but we expected a more pro showing from Big Country.
