Kimbo Slice vs Roy Nelson Fight play by play:

Round 1
Not much action for the first few minutes as both fighters trying to feel each others movements. Nelson shoots a takedown after Kimbo gets a good punch, however the takedown was near the fence to movement was limited for Nelson to get a good position. While rolling Roy nelson gets to pin an arm of Kimbo and was able to connect short and soft punches. While trying to defend using the other arm Kimbo's free hand was pinned too by Nelson and Kimbo eats a lot of short punches. The punches were too soft that Herb Dean did not stop the fight although Kimbo was unable to defend himself.

Round 2
Few seconds after the bell Kimbo was able to land a killer punch on Nelson but having a strong chin Nelson was able to weather it out and shoots again for a takedown. Nelson was successful in pulling the single leg and works in side control. The position results in a stalemate due to Roy's size (bad ground movement for fighters with large tummys, you all know that! :P) but after a few rolls Roy again gets a chance to pin both arms of Kimbo and started to land short punches. The punches seemed to get through this time most likely because of Kimbo being wered down by carrying Nelson's weight the whole time. Herb Dean saw no effort from Kimbo to try and get out of the pinch so Dean stopped the fight declaring Roy as the Winner Via TKO.
