Nelson considering drop to 205 after UFC 159 win
You might think that with his first-round knockout of fellow heavyweight Cheick Kongo during last Saturday’s main card at UFC 159, the path to a heavyweight title fight would be clear for Roy Nelson. Nelson [20-7-0], however, further complicated the situation earlier this week when he once again hinted that a drop to the light-heavyweight division may be in his near future. Now...

If Gilbert could of pulled out a close victory, we could of had a very big night for Ex-Strikeforce fighters.
