When: June 15
Where: UFC 161: Evans vs. Henderson
Though it is a late addition to the main card due to various injuries and reshuffles, Roy Nelson vs. Stipe Miocic has all the makings of a fun fight.
Nelson is the one shot, one kill puncher with a jaw of granite and a belly like jello. His recent path of destruction he has carved out in the heavyweight division has seen him lay waste to men like Matt Mitrione and Cheick Kongo.
Miocic is a young gun with good wrestling and boxing skills that will likely have the quickness and athleticism edge. A stick-and-move strategy may give him the best chance here, as he wants to stay out of the wheelhouse of Nelson.
