1. Roy Nelson vs. Cheick Kongo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgmwEcVhAx8 Event: UFC 159 - April 2013 We mentioned that Nelson and Hunt have shared a few victims over the years. One of the more impressive is Cheick Kongo. Prior to their UFC 159 bout, Kongo commented that Nelson's physique - lets call it "rotund" - made him want to tickle Big Country. Kongo, who as noted has the body of a superhero, likely wishes he had taken Nelson's form - and fighting prowess - a little more seriously, because he was turned into a highlight reel victim when the two finally met in the cage. You can see Nelson's knockout of Kongo at about the 1:00 mark of the video compilation above. It's absolutely crushing. Another right hand dropping another opponent to the mat. A follow up punch while Kongo is down, and after that, the French fight doesn't seem to know where he is. So what say you MMA fans? Which powerhouse takes the win when these two behemoths meet on September 20th?
