5 Fights For Roy Nelson To Take Next

By Jay Anderson /

2. Josh Barnett

Josh Barnett hasn't fought since a knockout loss due to elbows by Travis Browne last year, and the MMA community has been chomping at the bit waiting for him to get back in the cage. He seems, for now, content to work on his podcast, but a bout with Nelson is a solid headliner and well worth Barnett's consideration. Barnett is a catch wrestler and former UFC champ, basically a legend of old. Nelson has taken out a couple of those in Cro Cop and Big Nog, so this is a fight that could have a bit of a storyline to it. Barnett's catch wrestling vs. Nelson's knockout power and BJJ. We're game!
