    Antonio Silva vs. Roy Nelson and Cain vs Mir slated for UFC 146 in Las Vegas

    Roy Nelson's potential move to light heavyweight will apparently have to wait.

    Days after he launched a Facebook campaign in which "Big Country" said enough "likes" would prompt a move down in weight class, UFC officials today announced Nelson (16-7 MMA, 3-3 UFC) instead will fight fellow heavyweight Antonio Silva (16-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC).

    The bout takes place at UFC 146 in May.

    UFC 146, which is headlined by heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem, takes place May 26 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view while FX carries the prelims.

    Nelson vs. "Bigfoot" likely will be part of the PPV main card, though an announcement hasn't been made.

    For Nelson, a winner of "The Ultimate Fighter 10" who's just 1-3 in his past four fights, it's likely a must-win fight. Following decisions losses to Dos Santos and Frank Mir, Nelson knocked out Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. However, in his most recent bout, the heavy-handed jiu-jitsu ace suffered a decision defeat to another Strikeforce import – Fabricio Werdum – at UFC 143.

    Silva, meanwhile, is the latest Strikeforce-to-UFC arrival following the shuttering of his division in the UFC's sister promotion. The former EliteXC champ and World Victory Road/Sengoku vet went 3-2 in Strikeforce, which included a TKO victory over an undersized Fedor Emelianenko 13 months ago in the first round of Strikeforce's world heavyweight grand prix. However, in the semifinals, he suffered a knockout loss to injury replacement Daniel Cormier.

    The latest UFC 146 card now includes:

    Champ Junior Dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem (for heavyweight title)
    Edson Barboza vs. Evan Dunham
    Roy Nelson vs. Antonio Silva
    Dan Hardy vs. Duane "Bang" Ludwig
    Diego Brandao vs. Darren Elkins
    C.B. Dollaway vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller
    Shane Del Rosario vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
    Kyle Kingsbury vs. Glover Teixeira
    Paul Sass vs. Jacob Volkmann

    Roy can be done no favors because he sucks. He cannot beat anyone in the Top 10. For fuck's sake, he barely beat Cro Cop.

    One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, the other to the Lord.

    Looking back at the footprints in the sand, he noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

    The Lord replied, "My son, My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

    Lets see: Santos--no, he would get raped worse than the last time they fought. Overeem--same as JDS or worse, as we now know Roy cannot defend even Werdum's terrible knees. Werdum--beat him. Mir--beat him. Barnett is basically a fitter, better version of Roy and would outstrike, outwrestle, and out grapple him. Cormier would not be taken down and is a million times faster than Roy in striking. That leaves Carwin, who Roy MIGHT be able to beat if Carwin gasses. Nog maybe as well, considering he is falling apart--who knows what he will do.

    Just get that fat embarrassment off the roster and send him to Bellator where he can fight cans. That is what he is best at--talking and laying on top of shitty fighters.

    Bigfoot's chin was great prior to the Cormier fight. Don't write it off. I just think this one has epic Roy-style self beatdown written all over it.

    Mike Kyle landed a massive haymaker. Fedor couldn't faze him neither could any of Werdum's knees.

    Roy puts glass antonio to sleep, merr does the same to glass Cain as long as he doesn't get bullied into the cage and beat up.


    I thought constitutions were meant to protect rights, not deny them.

    They will both get bullied and beat up. Glass Murr will get beat up the fastest.
