In a video interview I did in July with cast members of Spike TV’s reality mixed martial arts fighting series, ‘The Ultimate Fighter: The Heavyweights,’ Roy Nelson discussed living in the same house with other fighters and how Kimbo Slice behaved.

Tonight, Nelson, also known as ‘Big Country’ because of his inflatable belly, will fight Slice with the loser going home and the winner advancing toward December’s live finale.

Filming of the Slice-Nelson fight had been completed by the time Nelson talked in this segment.

Although the mystery of how Slice fared remains, Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White told The Times earlier this month that Slice will remain in the UFC whether or not he wins the six-figure contract that comes with being ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ champion.
