Roy Nelson
Roy Nelson, known as "Big Country," is a UFC heavyweight with a professional record of 22-14-0. Though not a current champion, Nelson has carved out a long career in the division built largely on knockout power — he has registered 7 knockdowns across 20 tracked UFC bouts, a figure that reflects his reputation as a dangerous puncher. His takedown output is minimal at just 5 landed, underscoring a stand-and-trade approach consistent with that knockdown rate.
Nelson has competed regularly at the UFC heavyweight level in recent years. He picked up back-to-back wins over Derrick Lewis and Antonio Silva before dropping his most recent bout to Alexander Volkov at UFC on FOX: Johnson vs. Reis in April 2017. Across 20 UFC appearances, he has landed 326 significant strikes, a volume that speaks to his durability and willingness to engage in extended exchanges despite absorbing punishment along the way.
