Roy "Big Country" Nelson let the UFC know he is very much an active participant in the heavyweight division with a first-round knockout of Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira at UFC Fight Night 39 in Abu Dhabi on Friday. Pernell McPhee Redskins Jersey . The question is, where does he fit in the division? Is he a title contender or another face in the crowd? "I always want to fight for the belt, I dont really care," Nelson said after the fight. "Let me just start right there. Ill work my way backwards." "Dream opponent is always whoever has the belt, so that would be Cain Velasquez." Current UFC rankings have the former Ultimate Fighter winner ranked No. 8, well out of reach of champion Velasquez. The division is also loaded with top-end talent chomping at the bit for a title shot, including former champion Junior dos Santos followed closely by Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne, who will square off in a title eliminator match at UFC on FOX 11 on April 19 in Orlando, Florida. Dos Santos will fight the seventh-ranked heavyweight Stipe Miocic at UFC Fight Night Brazil on May 31. The winner of either of those fights will be under heavy consideration for the next crack at Velasquez, who is recovering from shoulder surgery and not expected back until the fall. But Nelson (21-9) is the enigma of the division. Each of his seven wins in the UFC have been by knockout and he has been awarded performance of the night once, fight of the night once and knockout of the night four times. However, he has no wins and four losses against current top-10 heavyweights - dos Santos, Werdum, Miocic and Frank Mir - and has never put together more than three consecutive wins in 12 UFC contests. "Every time I fight I always try to make a statement," he said at the post-fight press conference after defeating Nogueira. "I try to give the fans what they want to see." His entertainment value is not in question - neither is his right hook - but does Nelson belong in the mix atop a very deep division? Time will tell but, as always, its Your! Call.
