Roy Nelson Tweets Picture of Nasty Cut

News

Roy Nelson may have one of the best chins in mixed martial arts, but his face isn’t quite made of granite. After eating a number of Werdum’s knees and punches, “Big Country” will have some pretty cool scars to show off to his kids.

Fabricio Werdum made his return to the octagon on Saturday and looked like a completely reinvented fighter from his Strikeforce days. (Read Scott Sawitz’s take on the the new Werdum here.) He displayed masterful striking and was able to pick apart Roy Nelson. Nelson tweeted the following after the fight:

“Here is the cut from me head butting werdum’s knee in the 1st. My face is fine, forehead is a little sore.”
