BILOXI, Miss. — Having gained the reputation throughout his illustrious MMA career as having a durable chin, and a hard overhand right, Roy Nelson enters a new sport with those same assets at his disposal. With over 40 fights under his belt in the mixed martial arts world, Nelson has shifted his focus on the burgeoning bareknuckle fight scene. Having won his bareknuckle debut by spectacular first round knockout, Nelson will now face the undefeated, Alan Belcher in Belcher’s hometown of Biloxi, Mississippi on Friday night. A battle for bareknuckle heavyweight supremacy is at stake, with the winner cementing himself as one of the sports top big guys. The fight will take place under Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA banner, the sixth installment under the company’s umbrella.
