Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com interviews Roy ‘Big Country’ Nelson, ahead of his cage-clash with Junior Dos Santos, Saturday August 7, at UFC 117.

Roy is not looking for the fight of the night bonus, being a sensible fella is more concerned about winning whilst receiving least damage physically. Ironically Nelson versus Dos Santos could well be the surprise fight of the night.

Chubby Roy Nelson is not the bookies favourite, do not be deceived by the TUF 10 winners physique, he’s got the tools to get the job done. Betting on Roy could make you a winner.

UFC 117: USA vs Brazil

Although not officially marketed as USA vs Brazil, this unofficial UFC 117  poster design brilliantly highlights a great selling point for the Saturday’s pay per view fight-card.

Saturday August 7, a date MMA fans around the world have all been anticipating. Can the UFC top UFC 116? Will Dana White give UFC fans payback in the form of Chael Sonnen vs Anderson Silva?

There is no doubt about it Dana and co are spoiling fight fans with another stacked card. Defending middleweight champion Anderson ‘Spider’ Silva facing Chael Sonnen has set the internet alight with discussion.

Anderson’s last octagon outing, in Abu Dabai, UFC 112, was a controversial moment for the UFC. Silva’s antics turned many a fan to stop cheering the man given the honour of the best pound for pound fighter on the planet. Show-boating and not engaging are antics UFC President Dana White is not a fan of. White has hinted Silva will be out of the organisation if he continues in this vein.

Worthy of note Anderson’s actions have made him less respected, giving him heat – fans will now pay to see the former fan favourite beaten. Challenger Chael Sonnen is being hyped up as the man who can get the job done, but can he? Despite all the building up of Sonnen, the bookies have Anderson as odds on favourite to win.

My prediction: submission victory for Silva, bagging a win for Team Brazil.

A personal favourite Roy ‘Big Country’ Nelson returns to octagon action at UFC 117, facing Brazilian knockout artist Junior Dos Santos. The underrated chubby winner of TUF 10, is a fighter I can’t help but like. Not only a world class heavyweight, the IFL veteran is an endearing character. Hell he’s carrying some extra timber, making him an underdog, I like an underdog. This is going to be a war, unlikely to go the distance.

My prediction: Nelson by KO.

Fight card as advertised:

See UFC 117 live from 3am on subscription channel ESPN, UK, PPV North America.
