Despite Contract Issues, Roy Nelson Intends to Fight in 2011

Filed under: ,

A dispute with a contract Roy Nelson signed with the Square Ring Promotions a year ago has placed his UFC career on the shelf but the UFC heavyweight told MMAFighting.com Monday he intends to fight next year.

"As far as I know, I'm fighting in 2011," Nelson said nonchalantly on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. "That's my plan."

Square Ring Promotions, owned by boxer Roy Jones Jr., is claiming rights to match offers for Nelson's services from a contract signed last year for the "March Badness" MMA and boxing card. On the March 21 pay-per-view event, Nelson lost a unanimous decison to Jeff Monson on the card and then went on to sign with the UFC to appear on season ten of The Ultimate Fighter.
