Has he considered TRT?

R there any successful old guys who are not on TRT?

That shit is a scham. Should not be allowed.

I actually do like the fight. Though maybe Im being too optimistic in hoping CC can show some flashes of old glory vs a relative short guy. And even if not, I think Roy can take him out, and KO's are good.

And I really like the idea of Roy losing weight. Get down to 205. The belly mount will only get u so far.

"I'm not slimmer. I'm just buff," Nelson told Heavy.com. "I don't want to call it a diet program I'm working on. I think it is more of a lifestyle change, so I'll call it my new coaching program. Diet is the wrong word because if you look at the first three letters of the word it spells 'die' and that's what it feels like ... I'm going to make 205 someday. Mark my words I will at some point be 205 lb. I might be dead, get old and lose some muscle mass or in a car accident where I lose one of my legs but I will hit that weight somewhere along the line. I can guarantee that I will reach that weight but it may come under some drastic circumstances. I like the fact that people are talking about me 'supposedly' losing weight because it means that people care about me. That means that people love me and who doesn't want to feel that from the fans? I will say if I do lose weight then it will be on my terms and from a program that I'm responsible for developing or develop."

I don't see Roy standing with CC. I don't care what he has looked like in the UFC, it's still Mirko Cro Cop. This fight isn't tailored in any way for Roy Nelson to stand up. He takes CC down and gets an ugly win imo.

he ain't taking CC down. fact

wow an undersized heavy who is actually talking about 205. Hopefully it starts a trend. Pretty long list of guys who should, but have not, done the same.

I think the dropping weight thing wouldn't really work for heavies as well as people think. Do we really believe Roy Nelson has the skill to fight at 205 if he can make the cut there? I sure as hell don't. He fights like a HW, nothing but a 1-2 overhand right on the feet, and if he gets on top he has a nice ground game but not really elite wrestling to get it there

the more i think about it the more i agree with your post, he would be way too slow for the LHWs and would get blitzed... just like his previous 2 fights

So definitely, we're going to see a different Roy Nelson. I just want to
basically wow people with my beard, so definitely going for that.
Everybody always talks about my weight, but that's throughout my whole
entire life. It's nothing new. I'm sure everybody is going to talk about
my weight next week, and then after my fight, and then my weight after
that. It's just because people are mean. To me, I look in the mirror
every day, my wife thinks I'm beautiful, so I'm going to say probably
not (look different). I hope I just perform better. Looks are in the eye
of the beholder."

Yes Roy, everyone is critizing your weight because they're mean ('')
