Roy Nelson Thinks Junior dos Santos Is The Best In The UFC

↵“Hands down, I think he’s the best guy in the UFC right now. This is my title fight, because I look at it as I think this guy can beat the guy who has the belt. I think Junior is the best.”

↵↵- Roy Nelson talks to the Las Vegas Sun about his UFC 117 opponent Junior dos Santos
↵Personally, I’m not yet sold on dos Santos as a “top guy.” He’s clearly talented and hits like a truck but I need to see how he does against a guy like Nelson. I want to see if Junior can handle if Roy gets him to the ground. Nelson has a lot of power in his hands and his top game on the ground is incredibly good. In a wrestler heavy division this will be the first time we see Junior in with someone who falls near that wrestler area.
