Following his loss to Mark Hunt today in Japan, Roy Nelson posted a quick thank you message to fans for their support on Facebook, saying he just got caught.
Read his message, "Thanks everyone for the support, just got caught. Thats what happens in the Hwy division. @lunarpages @Fearthefighter @dynamicfastner @alienwaremma #stumble next time."
Nelson's KO loss was the first he's suffered in the UFC, and the first stoppage loss he's had since October of 2008.
Penick's Analysis: Nelson definitely got caught, but it was getting set up for a bit by Hunt. Nelson kept ducking his head down, leaving himself open to the uppercut from Hunt, and eventually that just found its home. The uppercut was sick, and Nelson just got floored by that punch.
