Statistically, for the career Nelson passed 487 full-fledged blows, having never visited a knockout or a knock-down.

It should be noted that thus, besides shock, but yet especially known Miochich, the American bearded man lost the decision to such fighters, as Dzhunior Dos Santos (16-2; today it is regarded, as the best drummer in a division), Frank Mir (16-7; victories a knockout over Rodrigo Nogeyra and Mirko Filipovich), Fabricio Verdum (17-5; victories a knockout over Mike Russou, Brandon Vera and Gebriel Goonzagoy, equal fight in a rack with Alastair Overim).

The only thing who managed to finish Nelson, to this day there is an ex-champion of UFC Andrey Arlovsky (19-10), in 2008 overcome its technical knockout within EliteXC promotion.
