Scott Coker Thinks Roy Nelson Should Retire
Bellator MMA President Scott Coker was in attendance at the event and he believes it may be time for Nelson to retire.
“I think that I go back and talk to my team about that. You know, I think Roy brought it and did his best today. It didn’t work out, but we’ll evaluate that. I think that it might be that time. I’m not sure, but that’s something that only Roy can decide. But as far as what I said on Wednesday, it’s definitely a possibility,” Coker said at the post-fight press conference (via Farah Hannoun & Matt Erickson of MMA Junkie).
Nelson is currently in the midst of a four fight losing streak and the fighter hasn’t picked up a victory in over two years. There has been no comment yet from the fighter or a representative as to whether or not Nelson will hang up the gloves for good.
If the fighter does opt for retirement, it would end a professional MMA career that began over fifteen years ago.
