MMA fans were surprised to see just how comfortable Werdum was standing and striking with the rotund brawler. Fabricio threw every attachment in his MMA Swiss army knife of tricks at Nelson, but Roy just took it like a boss, and kept coming back for more.

That move is now official and the first man to submit Fedor will be taking on the new-look Roy Nelson at UFC 143.

Now that he has turned out three depressing loses in a row, many fans have turned their backs on him and demanded him to hang them up. While many fans might disagree, the fight has not left "The Last Emperor" and he will continue to fight.

When he last parted ways with Dan Henderson, UFC president Dana White said about the fighter’s signing with Strikeforce, “He’ll probably retire over there.” After defeating Fedor and finishing his contract with the San Jose Company, White is looking at the 40 yr old again with optimism.
