WINNIPEG – Roy Nelson is in an interesting position on Saturday night, fighting in Canada for the first time. For his UFC 161 heavyweight bout against Stipe Miocic (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC), Nelson (19-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) is on the last fight of his current UFC deal. In fact, UFC President Dana White said, that Nelson made it on the card to begin with has to do with his contract running out. So win or lose on Saturday, Nelson could be in for an interesting negotiation period. But with a win, what he will not be, White said, is in a position to get a heavyweight title shot
