|  Roy Nelson: 'Bipolar' Shane Carwin called me fat and that hurt my feelings
http://www.mmamania.com/2012/7/17/31...carwin-tuf-ufc  Quote:
When news dropped that Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweights Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson were going to be coaches on the next season The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) to help train a new generation of up-and-coming combatants, more than a few eyebrows were raised.
Usually, but not always, the UFC brass has paired fighters that have some kind of history or common ground in order to draw pre-meditated buzz and attention to the show. In the past, rivals such as Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock, Matt Serra and Matt Hughes and Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture coached opposite each other, which led to some interesting back-and-forth moments during tapings.
Some more than others, of course.
However, Carwin and Nelson don't really have any kind of beef between them, no backstory to build up in anticipation to this season's edition of TUF. Other than a few harmless jabs here and there, the beef, for the most part, is non-existent.
Or is it?
"Big Country" dropped by a recent edition of The MMA Hour to shed some light on the emerging topic and cleared the air once and for all.
Well, sort of.

"I don't know if Shane is bi-polar or what the deal is. We have kind of gone back-and-forth. I think he called me fat once, and that hurt my feelings. And then I think you (Helwani) might have brought up like a Balco report or him doing steroids or there was a list or something a year ago, two years ago, I don't know. People assume that I have problems with everyone else's situation. Why would I have a problem with Shane? 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 okay 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."
| Nelson is coming off a 51-second knockout of David Herman at UFC 146 while Carwin has not seen action since June of 2011, when he dropped a lopsided unanimous decision to current UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos.
The loss marked his second straight after previously losing a title fight to Brock Lesnar at UFC 116.
After undergoing surgery to replace a disk in his lower back, "The Engineer" looks to pick up a much-needed victory over Nelson when the two meet at the conclusion of the show, if he hopes to avoid a possible pink slip from the promotion.

I hope carwin comes in at his best, this will be a great fight.
I would have loved to see Nelson fight Shane when he was on his undefeated streak...
Nelson can take a shot, but Shane hits very hard...

I think Roy Nelson vs. Shane Carwin sounds good enough, I don't need any hype for that. That being said, it doesn't hurt.

I havent watched TUF in a while. Not a huge Nelson fan, but he is a character... Im want to see what Nelson will do as a coach...
He always provides a laugh....

This will not be a close fight at all. It will be like every other time Nelson steps in with a Top 10 HW. He is going to get his ass handed to him and all his fan boys will only talk about how "Great of a chin he has" "big his heart is" "He hung in there." Well guess what he still lost and is not a Top 10 or perhaps even a Top 15 HW.
Werdum would have been a way better choice for a coach.
