Roy Nelson ’s long trip from the U.S. to Abu Dhabi proved worthwhile as he earned a much-needed victory over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in the UFC Fight Night 39 main event. Nelson (20-9 MMA, 7-5 UFC) entered the event on a two-fight losing streak and looked poor in both showings. While some pundits speculated that the 37-year-old may be over the hill, his first-round knockout of Nogueira (34-9-1 MMA, 5-5 UFC) in the UFC Fight Pass headliner showed he still has plenty left in the tank.
