Who doesn't love Big Country? For all of us couch potatoes, there's nothing quite like seeing a plus-size fighter turn up and spark out some of the fittest and strongest in the UFC.

Now signed to Bellator, Roy Nelson spent eight years turning heads in the UFC, with his unique conditioning and knockout power making him the perfect everyman for fans to get behind.

Key to the relative success of Nelson, though, was the fact that his chin could hold up in almost any sort of scenario. Famed powerhouses like Junior Dos Santos, Alistair Overeem and Mirko Cro Cop all struggled to make Big Country even flinch, which made it all the more impressive when Mark Hunt finally KO'd Roy at a 2014 UFC Fight Night show.
