The mixed martial arts (MMA) bout between Kimbo Slice and Roy "Big Country" Nelson on the third episode of the reality show The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season ten was touted as Pay-Per-View worthy, but literally turned out to be just another crushing loss for Kimbo Slice.
Nelson was in fact able to use his extensive fighting experience and huge belly to bury the physically super-fit Kimbo underneath him in the crucifix position, while delivering sloppy punches to Kimbo's head. Kimbo was completely immobilized and not able to put up any kind of defense when he was saved by the bell signaling the end of the first round.
Looking for a chance to redeem himself Kimbo immediately attacked Nelson with a powerful right that seemed to rock Nelson at the beginning of the second round. But when Nelson went in for the takedown Kimbo landed on the ground like a sack of potatoes.
