Following Roy Nelson ’s stunning first-round knockout of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC Fight Night 39 in Abu Dhabi on Friday, fighters took to Twitter to react. Nelson knocked Nogueira down early in the opening round and finished with a one-punch knockout that left some questioning whether it’s time for the Brazilian fighting legend to hang up the gloves.
