Now a “company man,” UFN 21’s Roy Nelson wants Stefan Struve’s “European belt”

The wisecracking Roy Nelson is back.

The 6-foot, round-bellied winner of “The Ultimate Fighter 10” has a tall order in front of him – literally – tomorrow when he faces 6-foot-11 Stefan Struve at UFC Fight Night 21 in Charlotte, N.C. So how do you prepare for that?

“The only thing I’ve been doing is trying to pick fights on the basketball court,” Nelson told MMAjunkie.com recently. “I called [Shaquille O’Neal] a couple of times, and I think he injured his hand or something.”
