I can't help but think that Dana White has his hands all over the Wren/Nelson fight selection.
He claimed that something about Roy rubs him the wrong way, as if he doesn't know. And it's not the "He's Cocky" bullshit he's trying to say it is. By that logic, Junie Browning would have been long gone. Dana's fucking transparent as all hell. Let me spell it out.
1. He's fat. Why else would a former IFL Heavyweight Champion be in the Ultimate Fighter, and not in the UFC already?
2. He won't kiss Dana's ass. 'Shad felt he had an ego problem at first, but then pointed out that everything he did up to this point was on his own. Be it training, booking fights, getting sponsors, you name it. That's not the kind of person who's gonna suck up. That pisses Dana and his planet-sized ego up. Add to that, he isn't gonna listen to Dana when he tells you how he wants you to fight (See the past few fights of Sherk, Sean for an example of the above).
3. He derailed the Kimbo Hype-Train. Bitch about how he did it all you want, but he did it. And he made the Internet Sensation named Kevin Fergusson look completely impotent in the process. Slice couldn't get out of Crucifix, and he lost the fight. Do you know how much money that cost White? He seriously could have hyped Big Baby or Nelson himself more to prevent this disaster.
The thing is, there's really only 2 guys on Nelson's level: Wren and Jones. Honestly, if Nelson beats Wren, I wouldn't doubt him somehow getting matched up with Marcus Jones in the Semis. And the finals sucking ass as a result.
