After going up 2-0 on Team Rampage, Rashad Evans is going after Rampage's golden boy, Kimbo Slice. Roy 'Big Country" Nelson is a former IFL heavyweight champion and will face Slice in what the UFC is calling "the biggest fight in TUF history".

While this will most likely be the most anticipated fight of the season, it should also be an interesting bout.

Both fighters like to stand and bang and can definitely knock eachother out. Nelson has the advantage on the ground with his size and "submission skills" but Kimbo's ground game seems to be improving as shown in the last episode.

Nelson's experience makes him the favorite in the fight. Personally (and I think a lot of MMA fans feel the same way), I hope Nelson knocks out this 3-1, MMA superstar so we can all forget he was ever the "face of MMA" on the cover of ESPN magazine.
