Not everything that came out of Roy 'Big Country' Nelson's UFC161 loss to Stipe Miocic was negative. Despite Big Country dropping a disappointing Unanimous Decision loss to Miocic, he set a new UFC record. Now as much as I am not a fan of Nelson (let's face it, I really don't have much positive to say about the guy) I did think this particular record was worth a mention (...and you'll see why in a second).
Roy 'Big Country' Nelson set a new record for absorbing the most amount of punches in UFC history, without getting knocked out. Roy has eaten 437 significant strikes (in total) during his fights against Junior Dos Santos, Fabricio Werdum, Frank Mir and most recently Stipe Miocic. The figure was released by UFC president Dana White at the press conference following the mostly lacklustre UFC161 fight card.
I don't know about anyone else, but this just makes me want to see him get knocked out even more. Maybe a fight against Mark Hunt is on the cards in the near future?
Until next time,
Peace!
