    I had heard about Sims, but Nelson is a surprise.

    Re: Roy Nelson and Wes Sims on TUF 10

    I'm very surprised at this. The difference in experience between the various fighters seems rather outrageous. Sims may be a bozo - but he is a bozo with 35 fights! Nelson is a big question mark. If he can win early, great. If he faces someone with a good gas tank.....he could be in serious trouble. I was totally unimpressed with his fight against Arlovski. Of course, against a bunch of amateurs, it may not matter much.

    If this is true, this season and the TUF franchise as a whole loses all credibility.

    Isn't that a "shitdog" rumor?

    Dana White is against the freak show gimmick, I seriously doubt that materializes.

    I was on this site
    http://www.fightbomb.com/Fight-Schedule/the-ultimate-fighter-10.html

    and found out that the Wes Sims and Roy Nelson rumors were written by a 17 yr old writer for that site listed above. He was instructed by the owner of the site to write the article... so take this rumor with a grain of salt.

    if you scroll down, you'll see some good info on who's in, who's out and who may be in.
