Roy Nelson: 'I put myself ahead of Arlovski'

Quoteworthy:

"I put myself ahead of Arlovski for the pure fact that I bring a more complete package. He's great at what he does. He's a phenomenal striker, but lax at grappling.... My physique works for me. I consider myself like 75 percent of the Americans out there. I give 100 percent. And I like food.... I'm looking for that big endorsement, like Taco Bell, Pizza Hut or McDonald's. Maybe after this fight, I'll do a cookbook."

Roy Nelson feels that he has the edge in his fight against Andrei Arlovski tomorrow night in the Elite XC fight that is co-promoted by Affliction MMA at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. "Big Country" also has his sights set on some big name sponsors who may tune in to the "Saturday Night Fights" broadcast on CBS. Good luck on both fronts, Roy.
