As we suspected. Carwin injured and out of Nelson fight.

I think most people kind of felt something would happen with Carwin to prevent this fight.

WOW!! It never ends Carwin blew his knee out. Looking for a new opponent for Roy on the TUF Finale on FX.

Might as well make it official and say he is retired.

That's ashame, I feel for Carwin.

Who replaces him ? Kongo ?

Too bad Hunt is still injured. Maybe Struve gets a rematch vs Roy? I dunno how injured Mir is and if he could be ready to go in a month?

Maybe. What about another fight with Rothwell? How about Gonzaga?

Mir vs. Nelson II doesn't make much sense since Frank handled Roy with ease.

Gonzaga and Rothwell were set to fight in January. Maybe they can get 1 of those two? Sounds like it could be the best option out there.

I can't see Gonzaga being keen to ditch a Brazil card.

To headline a FX card? He might. Being the main event and having a chance to pick up a higher profile win could be very tempting. Also Dana could make it worth it $, it's not like Gonzaga is loaded.

Barnett.

Perfect.

Meathead is replacing him.

About time he gets back in there but he'll probably get taken down at some point and won't be able to get back up. I'd love to see him KO Roy before then though

I don't think Meathead is ready for Roy.

Neither do I.

hmm, maybe he can beat Roy, I didn't know he knew how to win that gould.

Yes, yes, yes, NOO!
