|  Junior Dos Santos Remembers His Fight With Roy Nelson
Junior Dos Santos Remembers His Fight With Roy Nelson - FightLine.com Quote:
When Junior dos Santos (15-1) and Roy Nelson (17-7) collided in 2010, the current heavyweight champion remembers thinking how it was impossible to knock Nelson out.
Quote: |
"I gave a good uppercut on him and then he comes back and I started to think, 'here the fat boy comes again, why won't he stay down," said dos Santos to MMA Fighting. "That stuck in my mind and after I won, I was like, 'phew.'"
| Dos Santos, who wanted the knockout victory, had to settle with a decision win. Two fights later and he would become the heavyweight champion. Dos Santos gave Nelson credit and doesn't think that people take him seriously enough.
Quote: |
"People who know MMA know Roy is a serious fighter, but people don't think like that," said dos Santos. "I started to get worried."
| Nelson returns tonight on the finale of the current season of The Ultimate Fighter to face fellow TUF 10 contestant Matt Mitrione (5-1) in the main event.
Dos Santos will look for his second title defense later this month against Cain Velasquez (10-1).
